I can go along with this. I have wordsmithed that paragraph to not mention LISP-ALT. > >> I think it should left in and we should add LISP-DDT to the paragraph.

We will need to move them to PS. > I really do not see the need for this but YMMV. I will keep then as Informative references. And to address Mirja’s comment about believing that a reader would need to know more about ALT and DDT, I would respond to say, that the documentation is saying that a map-server and map-resolver are last-hops/first-hops to ANY mapping database transport system. So you can treat it as a black box. The operation of these nodes are discussed in the approprorate mapping database transport systems (such as LISP-ALT and LISP-DDT). There are also refernces to LISP-ALT (and LISP-DDT) when we have the option for xTRs to be directlry part of the mapping system. This may be a choice for LISP deployers when they want a less centralized mapping system. Again, there are just references that in this case, the xTRs are “first-hop/last-hop” nodes of these mapping database systems. How does that sound Mirja?
