Hi Lori, I agree with you.
IMHO, 1) is not so bad, It would help to reduce delay for the first
packet to a forgotten prefix that reactivates. I am assuming most
deployments will have a few EIDs (<10 in our case)
For 2), I found the function that handles the timer expiration
mc_entry_expiration_timer_cb. I will need to review the code to see if
it is safe to call handle_map_cache_miss(xtr, dst_eid, src_eid) here.
I am confused with this
/* If the EID is not from a iid net, try to fordward to the PeTR */
if (lisp_addr_is_iid(dst_eid) == FALSE){
I am wondering if instead of removing the entry, and then installing a
temporary NOT_ACTIVE entry, is it not better to keep the same entry in
NOT_ACTIVE status, and use it as it were active (as the last known
mapping).

Jose,
Regardless of the TTL value, one optimization in the code that
could be made would be to be proactive in refreshing mappings in
the map-cache, so that active flows don't get packet drops when
the TTL expires. This would need two things to be implemented:
1. Keeping a "last hit" timestamp for each map-cache entry, to be
able to determine which entries have active flows. For each
packet that is cache hit, we would update the timer.
2. When a cache entry's TTL expires, if it is still active (for
that we need to define what active means, which can be a
configurable threshold) we send out a Map-Request without
removing it, wait for a reply, and install that into the
map-cache.
In theory we could just do 2) without 1) but we don't want to keep
unused entries around in the map-cache.
I'm pretty sure the OOR team is very busy with other high priority
items, but I'm also pretty sure they would be happy to take
patches implementing the above.
Regards,
-Lori

Dear José,
The expiration time is defined by TTL. This is a hard coded
parameter that is defined by DEFAULT_DATA_CACHE_TTL (defs.h)
and is used in mapping_record_init_hdr(lisp_message_fields.c)
. We usually set this value to 10 (10 minutes). I don't know
why you have 1, may be I sent to you a testing version. In a
future we would like to add this parameter in the
configuration file but we don't have it yet.
Best regards

We realized that every minute, we are dropping traffic

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong.. (probably :))
Is there any way to handle this transparently? For instance,
have xTR refreshing prefixes 5secs before expiration, so,
traffic is not interrupted?
Are these expiration timers, configurable? I only see
that rloc-probing timers are tunable.
Thanks!
