The flag bits in the LISP header are not used that way. They are enable-bits so 
you can overload fields and keep the header small. The flags are designed based 
on "enable-bits" in many hardware designs where the enable-bits indicate which 
parallel signal lines are in effect (voltage, verify, ECC, parity, etc).

The bits do not mean anything about how the packet is handled but what control 
data is transmitted with  the data-packet.
