Hi Dino

Thanks, I´ve removed the parts for which I agree, below my comments:

Ok, thanks for clarifying. Anyhow this part has been removed from the
updated introduction.

Ok, what about this:

In order to resolve a query LISP-DDT operates in a similar way to the
DNS but only supports iterative lookups.

Ok, I´ve appended your sentence, see below:

Specifically if a nonce is not echoed, an ITR could RLOC-probe to
determine if the path is up because the return bidirectional path may
have failed or the return path is not used, that is there is only a
unidirectional path.

Thanks!
