Well you need to state that int he draft. Because, as written, it assumes that PITRs own or belong to EIDs, which is conceptually wrong. > So when a mapping changes, an ETR will register to more than one map-server. > I did not see any text to indicate if more than one map-server will send an > SMR to the (P)ITR.

Yes, but you are introducing extra messaging that is not needed. This needs to be addressed in the draft. We don’t want to build non-scable solutions. > And does the ITR ignore subsequent messages or sends a SMR-invoked > Map-Request for each SMR received?

You need to justify that there is an extra messaging cost to not modify the ITRs so the reviewers can evaluate if this solution is adequate. > You need to indicate what PITR does with an SMR when the EID in the > EID-record is not cached, or not configured. > > Note that this will always be the case If we use AFI=0 in the EID-record when > sending SMRs to the PITRs as you proposed above.

Well no, the RTR is not associated with the destination EID. It’s the map-server that really knows about the locator-set change. The point is, that a locator-set comparison as you state should be removed. It is not adding value IMO. > And could the authors please state your intentions on the temporary or > permanent nature of this draft.

Well I believe the Map-Notify draft can solve both cases, so I don’t know why 2 solutions are needed. So that is my opinion for the record.
