No, ITRs normally do not send Map-Request packets directly to an ETR - or
even a Map-Server.
An ITR sends Map-Request packets to a Map-Resolver, which is its 'portal'
into the mapping system. The Map-Resolver uses a distributed system called
DDT to find the Map-Server(s) which are responsible for the block of address
space the Map-Request is about. (This step may be avoided if the appropriate
delegation information is cached after it was received in response to a prior
request.) The Map-Resolver then sends the Map-Request to an appropriate
Map-Server, which forwards it on to an appropriate ETR.
