Hi Dino,

I’m referring to this exchange [1] between Alvaro and you, regarding the use of ITR-RLOCs from the Map-Request as the addresses to use to send the Map-Notifies to.

The summary is that since Map-Requests include the “ITR-RLOC” fields, we are using those, instead of the source address of the Map-Request, to send the Map-Notifies. This is for both Map-Notifies used to ack subscription as well as for Map-Notifies sent as publication (the Map-Server keeps track of the last ITR-RLOCs received for a subscriber).

Hope it makes sense :)

Alberto

> [AR] As mentioned in the Alvaro/Dino discussion, regular Map-Notifies as per 9301 are sent to the source IP address of the Map-Register that triggered them. Since PubSub extends LISP to specify that Map-Notifies can also be triggered by Map-Requests, we need to specify where these Map-Request-triggered Map-Notifies are sent to.

This isn't making sense to me. Are you talking about a Map-Notify as an ack to the Map-Register or an unsolicited Map-Notify and if the latter, the notification is going to the source address of the LAST subscription request. And if another Map-Request came later with the N-bit set again, with a new/different source IP address, the map-server must cache the last address (and later send Map-Notify to this new address).

Agree?
