Re: [lisp] Mirja Kühlewind's Discuss on draft-ietf-lisp-rfc6833bis-13: (with DISCUSS and COMMENT)

["Mirja Kuehlewind (IETF)" <[e-mail]>]

This sounds all fine to me. Please just make sure that the text reflects that accordingly everywhere where ALT is mentioned at the moment and respectively make it more generic if needed. I trust you, you will edit this correctly!

If you don’t want this to be a normative reference and remove the sentence above (which I’m not sure is helpful), please also double-check all other occurrences of ALT and make sure the discussed case is also understandable without ALT knowledge.

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).

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.
