DISCUSS:

Two issues rise to DISCUSS level, IMO:

Sec 5.7. Is the intent that the Map-Notifies are only retransmitted if they are
unsolicited? If not, repeated Map-Registers could result in a storm of
Map-Notifies.

Sec 7.1. I very well may have missed something, but it doesn't look like the
Map-Request is authenticated. So how can the ETR safely update its Map Cache
based on the information in the Map-Reply?

Sec. 5. Please clarify that the 576B and 1280B limits include the entire IP packet.

Sec 5.4. Does the "weight" refer to the percentage of packets or bytes?

Sec 5.5. The first sentence should suggest that the Map Reply could return multiple EID prefixes.
