          Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Control Plane

Abstract

   This document describes the control plane and Mapping Service for the
   Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP), implemented by two types of
   LISP-speaking devices -- the LISP Map-Resolver and LISP Map-Server --
   that provide a simplified "front end" for one or more Endpoint IDs
   (EIDs) to Routing Locator mapping databases.

   By using this control plane service interface and communicating with
   Map-Resolvers and Map-Servers, LISP Ingress Tunnel Routers (ITRs) and
   Egress Tunnel Routers (ETRs) are not dependent on the details of
   mapping database systems; this behavior facilitates modularity with
   different database designs.  Since these devices implement the "edge"
   of the LISP control plane infrastructure, connecting EID addressable
   nodes of a LISP site, the implementation and operational complexity
   of the overall cost and effort of deploying LISP is reduced.

   This document obsoletes RFCs 6830 and 6833.

1.  Introduction

   The Locator/ID Separation Protocol [RFC9300] (see also [RFC9299])
   specifies an architecture and mechanism for dynamic tunneling by
   logically separating the addresses currently used by IP in two
   separate namespaces: Endpoint IDs (EIDs), used within sites; and
   Routing Locators (RLOCs), used on the transit networks that make up
   the Internet infrastructure.  To achieve this separation, LISP
   defines protocol mechanisms for mapping from EIDs to RLOCs.  In
   addition, LISP assumes the existence of a database to store and
   propagate those mappings across Mapping System nodes.  Several such
   databases have been proposed; among them are the Content distribution
   Overlay Network Service for LISP-NERD (a Not-so-novel EID-to-RLOC
   Database) [RFC6837], LISP Alternative Logical Topology (LISP-ALT)
   [RFC6836], and LISP Delegated Database Tree (LISP-DDT) [RFC8111].

   The LISP Mapping Service defines two types of LISP-speaking devices:
   the Map-Resolver, which accepts Map-Requests from an Ingress Tunnel
   Router (ITR) and "resolves" the EID-to-RLOC mapping using a mapping
   database; and the Map-Server, which learns authoritative EID-to-RLOC
   mappings from an Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) and publishes them in a
   database.

   This LISP control plane and Mapping Service can be used by many
   different encapsulation-based or translation-based data planes,
   including but not limited to those defined in LISP [RFC9300], the
   LISP Generic Protocol Extension (LISP-GPE) [RFC9305], Virtual
   eXtensible Local Area Networks (VXLANs) [RFC7348], VXLAN-GPE
   [NVO3-VXLAN-GPE], GRE [RFC2890], the GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP)
   [GTP-3GPP], Identifier-Locator Addressing (ILA) [INTAREA-ILA], and
   Segment Routing (SRv6) [RFC8402].

   Conceptually, LISP Map-Servers share some of the same basic
   configuration and maintenance properties as Domain Name System (DNS)
   servers [RFC1035]; likewise, Map-Resolvers are conceptually similar
   to DNS caching resolvers.  With this in mind, this specification
   borrows familiar terminology (resolver and server) from the DNS
   specifications.

   Note that this document doesn't assume any particular database
   mapping infrastructure to illustrate certain aspects of Map-Server
   and Map-Resolver operations.  The Mapping Service interface can (and
   likely will) be used by ITRs and ETRs to access other mapping
   database systems as the LISP infrastructure evolves.

   LISP is not intended to address problems of connectivity and scaling
   on behalf of arbitrary communicating parties.  Relevant situations
   are described in Section 1.1 of [RFC9300].

   This document obsoletes [RFC6830] and [RFC6833].

1.1.  Scope of Applicability

   LISP was originally developed to address the Internet-wide route
   scaling problem [RFC4984].  While there are a number of approaches of
   interest for that problem, as LISP has been developed and refined, a
   large number of other uses for LISP have been found and are being
   implemented.  As such, the design and development of LISP have
   changed so as to focus on these use cases.  The common property of
   these uses is a large set of cooperating entities seeking to
   communicate over the public Internet or other large underlay IP
   infrastructures while keeping the addressing and topology of the
   cooperating entities separate from the underlay and Internet
   topology, routing, and addressing.

   When communicating over the public Internet, deployers MUST consider
   the following guidelines:

   1.  LISP Security (LISP-SEC) MUST be implemented [RFC9303].  This
       means that the S-bit MUST be set in the Map-Reply (Section 5.4),
       Map-Register (Section 5.6), and Encapsulated Control Messages
       (ECMs) (Section 5.8).

   2.  Implementations SHOULD use 'HMAC-SHA256-128+HKDF-SHA256' as the
       Algorithm ID (Section 12.5) in the Map-Register message
       (Section 5.6) and MUST NOT use 'None' or 'HMAC-SHA-1-96-None' as
       the Algorithm ID (Section 12.5) in the Map-Register message
       (Section 5.6).

2.  Requirements Notation

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  Definitions of Terms

   Map-Server:  A network infrastructure component that learns of EID-
      Prefix mapping entries from an ETR, via the registration mechanism
      described below, or some other authoritative source if one exists.
      A Map-Server publishes these EID-Prefixes in a mapping database.

   Map-Request:  A control plane message that queries the Mapping System
      to resolve an EID.  A LISP Map-Request can also be sent to an RLOC
      to test for reachability and to exchange security keys between an
      encapsulator and a decapsulator.  This type of Map-Request is also
      known as an RLOC-Probe Request.

   Map-Reply:  A control plane message returned in response to a Map-
      Request sent to the Mapping System when resolving an EID.  A LISP
      Map-Reply can also be returned by a decapsulator in response to a
      Map-Request sent by an encapsulator to test for reachability.
      This type of Map-Reply is known as an RLOC-Probe Reply.

   Encapsulated Map-Request:  A LISP Map-Request carried within an ECM.
      This Map-Request has an additional LISP header prepended.  Sent to
      UDP destination port 4342.  The "outer" addresses are routable IP
      addresses, also known as RLOCs.  Used by an ITR when sending to a
      Map-Resolver and by a Map-Server when forwarding a Map-Request to
      an ETR.

   Map-Resolver:  A network infrastructure component that accepts LISP
      Encapsulated (ECM) Map-Requests, typically from an ITR, and
      determines whether or not the destination IP address is part of
      the EID namespace; if it is not, a Negative Map-Reply is returned.
      Otherwise, the Map-Resolver finds the appropriate EID-to-RLOC
      mapping by consulting a mapping database system.

   Negative Map-Reply:  A LISP Map-Reply that contains an empty Locator-
      Set.  Returned in response to a Map-Request if the destination EID
      is not registered in the Mapping System, is policy-denied, or
      fails authentication.

   Map-Register message:  A LISP message sent by an ETR to a Map-Server
      to register its associated EID-Prefixes.  In addition to the set
      of EID-Prefixes to register, the message includes one or more
      RLOCs to reach ETR(s).  The Map-Server uses these RLOCs when
      forwarding Map-Requests (reformatted as Encapsulated Map-
      Requests).  An ETR MAY request that the Map-Server answer Map-
      Requests on its behalf by setting the "proxy Map-Reply" flag
      (P-bit) in the message.

   Map-Notify message:  A LISP message sent by a Map-Server to an ETR to
      confirm that a Map-Register has been received and processed.  An
      ETR requests that a Map-Notify be returned by setting the "want-
      map-notify" flag (M-bit) in the Map-Register message.  Unlike a
      Map-Reply, a Map-Notify uses UDP port 4342 for both source and
      destination.  Map-Notify messages are also sent to ITRs by Map-
      Servers when there are RLOC-Set changes.

   For definitions of other terms, notably Ingress Tunnel Router (ITR),
   Egress Tunnel Router (ETR), and Re-encapsulating Tunnel Router (RTR),
   refer to the LISP data plane specification [RFC9300].

4.  Basic Overview

   A Map-Server is a device that publishes EID-Prefixes in a LISP
   mapping database on behalf of a set of ETRs.  When it receives a Map-
   Request (typically originating from an ITR), it consults the mapping
   database to find an ETR that can answer with the set of RLOCs for an
   EID-Prefix.  To publish its EID-Prefixes, an ETR periodically sends
   Map-Register messages to the Map-Server.  A Map-Register message
   contains a list of EID-Prefixes plus a set of RLOCs that can be used
   to reach the ETRs.

   When LISP-ALT [RFC6836] is used as the mapping database, a Map-Server
   connects to the ALT network and acts as a "last-hop" ALT-Router.
   Intermediate ALT-Routers forward Map-Requests to the Map-Server that
   advertises a particular EID-Prefix, and the Map-Server forwards them
   to the owning ETR, which responds with Map-Reply messages.

   When LISP-DDT [RFC8111] is used as the mapping database, a Map-Server
   sends the final Map-Referral messages from the Delegated Database
   Tree.

   A Map-Resolver receives Encapsulated Map-Requests from its client
   ITRs and uses a mapping database system to find the appropriate ETR
   to answer those requests.  On a LISP-ALT network, a Map-Resolver acts
   as a "first-hop" ALT-Router.  It has Generic Routing Encapsulation
   (GRE) tunnels configured to other ALT-Routers and uses BGP to learn
   paths to ETRs for different prefixes in the LISP-ALT database.  The
   Map-Resolver uses this path information to forward Map-Requests over
   the ALT to the correct ETRs.  On a LISP-DDT network [RFC8111], a Map-
   Resolver maintains a referral cache and acts as a "first-hop" DDT
   node.  The Map-Resolver uses the referral information to forward Map-
   Requests.

   Note that while it is conceivable that a Map-Resolver could cache
   responses to improve performance, issues surrounding cache management
   would need to be resolved so that doing so would be reliable and
   practical.  In this specification, Map-Resolvers will operate only in
   a non-caching mode, decapsulating and forwarding Encapsulated Map-
   Requests received from ITRs.  Any specification of caching
   functionality is out of scope for this document.

   Note that a single device can implement the functions of both a Map-
   Server and a Map-Resolver, and in many cases, the functions will be
   co-located in that way.  Also, there can be ALT-only nodes and DDT-
   only nodes, when LISP-ALT and LISP-DDT are used, respectively,
   connecting Map-Resolvers and Map-Servers together to make up the
   Mapping System.

                  Figure 2: IPv6 UDP LISP Control Message

   When a UDP Map-Request, Map-Register, or Map-Notify (when used as a
   notification message) is sent, the UDP source port is chosen by the
   sender and the destination UDP port number is set to 4342.  When a
   UDP Map-Reply, Map-Notify (when used as an acknowledgment to a Map-
   Register), or Map-Notify-Ack is sent, the source UDP port number is
   set to 4342 and the destination UDP port number is copied from the
   source port of either the Map-Request or the invoking data packet.
   Implementations MUST be prepared to accept packets when either the
   source port or destination UDP port is set to 4342 due to NATs
   changing port number values.

   The 'UDP Length' field will reflect the length of the UDP header and
   the LISP Message payload.  LISP is expected to be deployed by
   cooperating entities communicating over underlays.  Deployers are
   expected to set the MTU according to the specific deployment
   guidelines to prevent fragmentation of either the inner packet or the
   outer encapsulated packet.  For deployments not aware of the underlay
   restrictions on the path MTU, the message size MUST be limited to 576
   bytes for IPv4 or 1280 bytes for IPv6 -- considering the entire IP
   packet -- as outlined in [RFC8085].

   The UDP checksum is computed and set to non-zero for all messages
   sent to or from port 4342.  It MUST be checked on receipt, and if the
   checksum fails, the control message MUST be dropped [RFC1071].

   The format of control messages includes the UDP header so the
   checksum and length fields can be used to protect and delimit message
   boundaries.

5.1.  LISP Control Packet Type Allocations

   This section defines the LISP control message formats and summarizes
   for IANA the LISP Type codes assigned by this document.  For
   completeness, the summary below includes the LISP Shared Extension
   Message assigned by [RFC9304].  Message type definitions are:

      +===================================+======+==================+
      | Message                           | Code | Codepoint        |

      | LISP Shared Extension Message     | 15   | b'1111'          |
      +-----------------------------------+------+------------------+

                                  Table 1

   Protocol designers experimenting with new message formats are
   recommended to use the LISP Shared Extension Message Type described
   in [RFC9304].

   All LISP control plane messages use Address Family Identifiers (AFIs)
   [AFN] or LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) entries [RFC8060] to
   encode either fixed-length or variable-length addresses.  This
   includes explicit fields in each control message or part of EID-
   Records or RLOC-Records in commonly formatted messages.  LISP control
   plane messages that include an unrecognized AFI MUST be dropped, and
   the event MUST be logged.

   The LISP control plane describes how other data planes can encode
   messages to support the soliciting of Map-Requests as well as RLOC-
   Probing procedures.

   Packet field descriptions:

   Type:  1 (Map-Request)

   A:  This is an authoritative bit.  It is set to 1 when an ITR wants
      the destination site to return the Map-Reply rather than the
      mapping database system returning a Map-Reply and is set to 0
      otherwise.

   M:  This is the map-data-present bit.  When set, it indicates that a
      Map-Reply Record segment is included in the Map-Request.

   P:  This is the probe-bit, which indicates that a Map-Request MUST be
      treated as a Locator reachability probe.  The receiver MUST
      respond with a Map-Reply with the probe-bit set, indicating that
      the Map-Reply is a Locator reachability probe reply, with the
      nonce copied from the Map-Request.  See "RLOC-Probing Algorithm"
      (Section 7.1) for more details.  This RLOC-Probe Map-Request MUST
      NOT be sent to the Mapping System.  If a Map-Resolver or Map-
      Server receives a Map-Request with the probe-bit set, it MUST drop
      the message.

   S:  This is the Solicit-Map-Request (SMR) bit.  See
      "Solicit-Map-Request (SMR)" (Section 6.1) for details.

   p:  This is the Proxy Ingress Tunnel Router (PITR) bit.  This bit is
      set to 1 when a PITR sends a Map-Request.  The use of this bit is
      deployment specific.

   s:  This is the SMR-invoked bit.  This bit is set to 1 when an xTR is
      sending a Map-Request in response to a received SMR-based Map-
      Request.

   R:  This reserved and unassigned bit MUST be set to 0 on transmit and
      MUST be ignored on receipt.

   Rsvd:  This field MUST be set to 0 on transmit and MUST be ignored on
      receipt.

   L:  This is the local-xtr bit.  It is used by an xTR in a LISP site
      to tell other xTRs in the same site that it is part of the RLOC-
      Set for the LISP site.  The L-bit is set to 1 when the RLOC is the
      sender's IP address.

   D:  This is the dont-map-reply bit.  It is used in the SMR procedure
      described in Section 6.1.  When an xTR sends an SMR message, it
      doesn't need a Map-Reply returned.  When this bit is set, the
      receiver of the Map-Request does not return a Map-Reply.

   IRC:  This 5-bit field is the ITR-RLOC Count, which encodes the
      additional number of ('ITR-RLOC-AFI', 'ITR-RLOC Address') fields
      present in this message.  At least one (ITR-RLOC-AFI, ITR-RLOC
      Address) pair MUST be encoded.  Multiple 'ITR-RLOC Address' fields
      are used, so a Map-Replier can select which destination address to
      use for a Map-Reply.  The IRC value ranges from 0 to 31.  For a
      value of 0, there is 1 ITR-RLOC address encoded; for a value of 1,
      there are 2 ITR-RLOC addresses encoded, and so on up to 31, which
      encodes a total of 32 ITR-RLOC addresses.

   Record Count:  This is the number of records in this Map-Request
      message.  A record is comprised of the portion of the packet that
      is labeled 'Rec' above and occurs the number of times equal to
      Record Count.  For this version of the protocol, a receiver MUST
      accept and process Map-Requests that contain one or more records,
      but a sender MUST only send Map-Requests containing one record.

   Nonce:  This is an 8-octet random value created by the sender of the
      Map-Request.  This nonce will be returned in the Map-Reply.  The
      nonce is used as an index to identify the corresponding Map-
      Request when a Map-Reply message is received.  The nonce MUST be
      generated by a properly seeded pseudo-random source; for example,
      see [RFC4086].

   Source-EID-AFI:  This is the address family of the 'Source EID
      Address' field.

   Source EID Address:  This is the EID of the source host that
      originated the packet that caused the Map-Request.  When Map-
      Requests are used for refreshing a Map-Cache entry or for RLOC-
      Probing, an AFI value of 0 is used, and this field is of zero
      length.

   ITR-RLOC-AFI:  This is the address family of the 'ITR-RLOC Address'
      field that follows this field.

   ITR-RLOC Address:  This is used to give the ETR the option of
      selecting the destination address from any address family for the
      Map-Reply message.  This address MUST be a routable RLOC address
      of the sender of the Map-Request message.

   EID mask-len:  This is the mask length for the EID-Prefix.

   EID-Prefix-AFI:  This is the address family of the EID-Prefix
      according to [AFN] and [RFC8060].

   EID-Prefix:  This prefix address length is 4 octets for an IPv4
      address family and 16 octets for an IPv6 address family when the
      EID-Prefix-AFI is 1 or 2, respectively.  For other AFIs [AFN], the
      address length varies, and for the LCAF AFI, the format is defined
      in [RFC8060].  When a Map-Request is sent by an ITR because a data
      packet is received for a destination where there is no mapping
      entry, the EID-Prefix is set to the destination IP address of the
      data packet, and the 'EID mask-len' field is set to 32 or 128 for
      IPv4 or IPv6, respectively.  When an xTR wants to query a site
      about the status of a mapping it already has cached, the EID-
      Prefix used in the Map-Request has the same mask length as the
      EID-Prefix returned from the site when it sent a Map-Reply
      message.

   Map-Reply Record:  When the M-bit is set, this field is the size of a
      single "Record" in the Map-Reply format.  This Map-Reply record
      contains the EID-to-RLOC mapping entry associated with the source
      EID.  This allows the ETR that will receive this Map-Request to
      cache the data if it chooses to do so.  It is important to note
      that this mapping has not been validated by the Mapping System.

5.3.  EID-to-RLOC UDP Map-Request Message

   A Map-Request is sent from an ITR when it needs a mapping for an EID,
   wants to test an RLOC for reachability, or wants to refresh a mapping
   before Time to Live (TTL) expiration.  For the initial case, the
   destination IP address used for the Map-Request is the data packet's
   destination address (i.e., the destination EID) that had a mapping
   cache lookup failure.  For the latter two cases, the destination IP
   address used for the Map-Request is one of the RLOC addresses from
   the Locator-Set of the Map-Cache entry.  The source address is either
   an IPv4 or IPv6 RLOC address, depending on whether the Map-Request is
   using an IPv4 or IPv6 header, respectively.  In all cases, the UDP
   source port number for the Map-Request message is a 16-bit value
   selected by the ITR/PITR, and the UDP destination port number is set
   to the well-known destination port number 4342.  A successful Map-
   Reply, which is one that has a nonce that matches an outstanding Map-
   Request nonce, will update the cached set of RLOCs associated with
   the EID-Prefix range.

   One or more Map-Request ('ITR-RLOC-AFI', 'ITR-RLOC Address') fields
   MUST be filled in by the ITR.  The number of fields (minus 1) encoded
   MUST be placed in the 'IRC' field.  The ITR MAY include all locally
   configured Locators in this list or just provide one Routing Locator
   Address from each address family it supports.  If the ITR erroneously
   provides no ITR-RLOC addresses, the Map-Replier MUST drop the Map-
   Request.

   Map-Requests can also be LISP encapsulated using UDP destination
   port 4342 with a LISP Type value set to "Encapsulated Control
   Message", when sent from an ITR to a Map-Resolver.  Likewise, Map-
   Requests are LISP encapsulated the same way from a Map-Server to an
   ETR.  Details on Encapsulated Map-Requests and Map-Resolvers can be
   found in Section 5.8.

   Map-Requests MUST be rate limited to 1 per second per EID-Prefix.
   After 10 retransmits without receiving the corresponding Map-Reply,
   the sender MUST wait 30 seconds.

   An ITR that is configured with mapping database information (i.e., it
   is also an ETR) MAY optionally include those mappings in a Map-
   Request.  When an ETR configured to accept and verify such
   "piggybacked" mapping data receives such a Map-Request and it does
   not have this mapping in the Map-Cache, it MUST originate a
   "verifying Map-Request" through the mapping database to validate the
   "piggybacked" mapping data.

   Packet field descriptions:

   Type:  2 (Map-Reply)

   P:  This is the probe-bit, which indicates that the Map-Reply is in
      response to a Locator reachability probe Map-Request.  The 'Nonce'
      field must contain a copy of the nonce value from the original
      Map-Request.  See "RLOC-Probing Algorithm" (Section 7.1) for more
      details.  When the probe-bit is set to 1 in a Map-Reply message,
      the A-bit in each EID-Record included in the message MUST be set
      to 1; otherwise, it MUST be silently discarded.

   E:  This bit indicates that the ETR that sends this Map-Reply message
      is advertising that the site is enabled for the Echo-Nonce Locator
      reachability algorithm.  See Section 10.1 ("Echo-Nonce Algorithm")
      of [RFC9300] for more details.

   S:  This is the Security bit.  When set to 1, the following
      authentication information will be appended to the end of the Map-
      Reply.  Details can be found in [RFC9303].

    0                   1                   2                   3

   |    AD Type    |       Authentication Data Content . . .       |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   Reserved:  This unassigned field MUST be set to 0 on transmit and
      MUST be ignored on receipt.

   Record Count:  This is the number of records in this reply message.
      A record is comprised of that portion of the packet labeled
      'Record' above and occurs the number of times equal to Record
      Count.  Note that the reply count can be larger than the requested
      count, for instance, when more-specific prefixes are present.

   Nonce:  This 64-bit value from the Map-Request is echoed in this
      'Nonce' field of the Map-Reply.

   Record TTL:  This is the time in minutes the recipient of the Map-
      Reply can store the mapping.  If the TTL is 0, the entry MUST be
      removed from the cache immediately.  If the value is 0xffffffff,
      the recipient can decide locally how long to store the mapping.

   Locator Count:  This is the number of Locator entries in the given
      Record.  A Locator entry comprises what is labeled above as 'Loc'.
      The Locator count can be 0, indicating that there are no Locators
      for the EID-Prefix.

   EID mask-len:  This is the mask length for the EID-Prefix.

   ACT:  This 3-bit field describes Negative Map-Reply actions.  In any
      other message type, these bits are set to 0 and ignored on
      receipt.  These bits are used only when the 'Locator Count' field
      is set to 0.  The action bits are encoded only in Map-Reply
      messages.  They are used to tell an ITR or PITR why an empty
      Locator-Set was returned from the Mapping System and how it stores
      the Map-Cache entry.  See Section 12.3 for additional information.

      (0) No-Action:  The Map-Cache is kept alive, and no packet
          encapsulation occurs.

      (1) Natively-Forward:  The packet is not encapsulated or dropped
          but natively forwarded.

      (2) Send-Map-Request:  The Map-Cache entry is created and flagged
          so that any packet matching this entry invokes sending a Map-
          Request.

      (3) Drop/No-Reason:  A packet that matches this Map-Cache entry is
          dropped.  An ICMP Destination Unreachable message SHOULD be
          sent.

      (4) Drop/Policy-Denied:  A packet that matches this Map-Cache
          entry is dropped.  The reason for the Drop action is that a
          Map-Request for the target EID is being policy-denied by
          either an xTR or the Mapping System.

      (5) Drop/Auth-Failure:  A packet that matches this Map-Cache entry
          is dropped.  The reason for the Drop action is that a Map-
          Request for the target EID fails an authentication
          verification check by either an xTR or the Mapping System.

   A:  The Authoritative bit MAY only be set to 1 by an ETR.  A Map-
      Server generating Map-Reply messages as a proxy MUST NOT set the
      A-bit to 1.  This bit indicates to the requesting ITRs if the Map-
      Reply was originated by a LISP node managed at the site that owns
      the EID-Prefix.

   Map-Version Number:  When this 12-bit value in an EID-Record of a
      Map-Reply message is non-zero, see [RFC9302] for details.

   EID-Prefix-AFI:  This is the address family of the EID-Prefix
      according to [AFN] and [RFC8060].

   EID-Prefix:  This prefix is 4 octets for an IPv4 address family and
      16 octets for an IPv6 address family.

   Priority:  Each RLOC is assigned a unicast Priority.  Lower values
      are preferable.  When multiple RLOCs have the same Priority, they
      may be used in a load-split fashion.  A value of 255 means the
      RLOC MUST NOT be used for unicast forwarding.

   Weight:  When priorities are the same for multiple RLOCs, the Weight
      indicates how to balance unicast traffic between them.  Weight is
      encoded as a relative weight of total unicast packets that match
      the mapping entry.  For example, if there are 4 Locators in a
      Locator-Set, where the Weights assigned are 30, 20, 20, and 10,
      the first Locator will get 37.5% of the traffic, the second and
      third Locators will each get 25% of the traffic, and the fourth
      Locator will get 12.5% of the traffic.  If all Weights for a
      Locator-Set are equal, the receiver of the Map-Reply will decide
      how to load-split the traffic.  See Section 12 ("Routing Locator
      Hashing") of [RFC9300] for a suggested hash algorithm to
      distribute the load across Locators with the same Priority and
      equal Weight values.

   M Priority:  Each RLOC is assigned a multicast Priority used by an
      ETR in a receiver multicast site to select an ITR in a source
      multicast site for building multicast distribution trees.  A value
      of 255 means the RLOC MUST NOT be used for joining a multicast
      distribution tree.  For more details, see [RFC6831].

   M Weight:  When priorities are the same for multiple RLOCs, the
      Weight indicates how to balance building multicast distribution
      trees across multiple ITRs.  The Weight is encoded as a relative
      weight (similar to the unicast Weights) of the total number of
      trees built to the source site identified by the EID-Prefix.  If
      all Weights for a Locator-Set are equal, the receiver of the Map-
      Reply will decide how to distribute multicast state across ITRs.
      For more details, see [RFC6831].

   Unused Flags:  These are set to 0 when sending and ignored on
      receipt.

   L:  When this bit is set, the Locator is flagged as a local Locator
      to the ETR that is sending the Map-Reply.  When a Map-Server is
      doing proxy Map-Replying for a LISP site, the L-bit is set to 0
      for all Locators in this Locator-Set.

   p:  When this bit is set, an ETR informs the RLOC-Probing ITR that
      the Routing Locator Address for which this bit is set is the one
      being RLOC-Probed and may be different from the source address of
      the Map-Reply.  An ITR that RLOC-Probes a particular Locator MUST
      use this Locator for retrieving the data structure used to store
      the fact that the Locator is reachable.  The p-bit is set for a
      single Locator in the same Locator-Set.  If an implementation sets
      more than one p-bit erroneously, the receiver of the Map-Reply
      MUST select the first set p-bit Locator.  The p-bit MUST NOT be
      set for Locator-Set records sent in Map-Request and Map-Register
      messages.

   R:  This is set when the sender of a Map-Reply has a route to the
      Locator in the Locator data record.  This receiver may find this
      useful to know if the Locator is up but not necessarily reachable
      from the receiver's point of view.

   Locator:  This is an IPv4 or IPv6 address (as encoded by the 'Loc-
      AFI' field) assigned to an ETR and used by an ITR as a destination
      RLOC address in the outer header of a LISP encapsulated packet.
      Note that the destination RLOC address of a LISP encapsulated
      packet MAY be an anycast address.  A source RLOC of a LISP
      encapsulated packet can be an anycast address as well.  The source
      or destination RLOC MUST NOT be the broadcast address
      (255.255.255.255 or any subnet broadcast address known to the
      router) and MUST NOT be a link-local multicast address.  The
      source RLOC MUST NOT be a multicast address.  The destination RLOC
      SHOULD be a multicast address if it is being mapped from a
      multicast destination EID.

   Map-Replies MUST be rate limited.  It is RECOMMENDED that a Map-Reply
   for the same destination RLOC be sent to no more than one packet
   every 3 seconds.

   The Record format, as defined here, is used both in the Map-Reply and
   Map-Register messages; this includes all the field definitions.

5.5.  EID-to-RLOC UDP Map-Reply Message

   A Map-Reply returns an EID-Prefix with a mask length that is less
   than or equal to the EID being requested.  The EID being requested is
   either from the destination field of an IP header of a Data-Probe or
   the EID of a record of a Map-Request.  The RLOCs in the Map-Reply are
   routable IP addresses of all ETRs for the LISP site.  Each RLOC
   conveys status reachability but does not convey path reachability
   from a requester's perspective.  Separate testing of path
   reachability is required.  See "RLOC-Probing Algorithm" (Section 7.1)
   for details.

   Note that a Map-Reply MAY contain different EID-Prefix granularity
   (prefix + mask length) than the Map-Request that triggers it.  This
   might occur if a Map-Request were for a prefix that had been returned
   by an earlier Map-Reply.  In such a case, the requester updates its
   cache with the new prefix information and granularity.  For example,
   a requester with two cached EID-Prefixes that are covered by a Map-
   Reply containing one less-specific prefix replaces the entry with the
   less-specific EID-Prefix.  Note that the reverse, replacement of one
   less-specific prefix with multiple more-specific prefixes, can also
   occur, not by removing the less-specific prefix but rather by adding
   the more-specific prefixes that, during a lookup, will override the
   less-specific prefix.

   When an EID moves out of a LISP site [EID-MOBILITY], the database
   Mapping System may have overlapping EID-Prefixes.  Or when a LISP
   site is configured with multiple sets of ETRs that support different
   EID-Prefix mask lengths, the database Mapping System may have
   overlapping EID-Prefixes.  When overlapping EID-Prefixes exist, a
   Map-Request with an EID that best matches any EID-Prefix MUST be
   returned in a single Map-Reply message.  For instance, if an ETR had
   database mapping entries for EID-Prefixes:

     2001:db8::/32
     2001:db8:1::/48
     2001:db8:1:1::/64
     2001:db8:1:2::/64

   A Map-Request for EID 2001:db8:1:1::1 would cause a Map-Reply with a
   record count of 1 to be returned with a mapping record EID-Prefix of
   2001:db8:1:1::/64.

   A Map-Request for EID 2001:db8:1:5::5 would cause a Map-Reply with a
   record count of 3 to be returned with mapping records for EID-
   Prefixes 2001:db8:1::/48, 2001:db8:1:1::/64, and 2001:db8:1:2::/64,
   filling out the /48 with more-specific prefixes that exist in the
   Mapping System.

   Note that not all overlapping EID-Prefixes need to be returned but
   only the more-specific entries (note in the second example above that
   2001:db8::/32 was not returned for requesting EID 2001:db8:1:5::5)
   for the matching EID-Prefix of the requesting EID.  When more than
   one EID-Prefix is returned, all SHOULD use the same TTL value so they
   can all time out at the same time.  When a more-specific EID-Prefix
   is received later, its TTL value in the Map-Reply record can be
   stored even when other less-specific entries exist.  When a less-
   specific EID-Prefix is received later, its Map-Cache expiration time
   SHOULD be set to the minimum expiration time of any more-specific
   EID-Prefix in the Map-Cache.  This is done so the integrity of the
   EID-Prefix set is wholly maintained and so no more-specific entries
   are removed from the Map-Cache while keeping less-specific entries.

   For scalability, it is expected that aggregation of EID addresses
   into EID-Prefixes will allow one Map-Reply to satisfy a mapping for
   the EID addresses in the prefix range, thereby reducing the number of
   Map-Request messages.

   Map-Reply records can have an empty Locator-Set.  A Negative Map-
   Reply is a Map-Reply with an empty Locator-Set.  Negative Map-Replies
   convey special actions by the Map-Reply sender to the ITR or PITR
   that have solicited the Map-Reply.  There are two primary
   applications for Negative Map-Replies.  The first is for a Map-
   Resolver to instruct an ITR or PITR when a destination is for a LISP
   site versus a non-LISP site, and the other is to source quench Map-
   Requests that are sent for non-allocated EIDs.

   For each Map-Reply record, the list of Locators in a Locator-Set MUST
   be sorted in order of ascending IP address where an IPv4 Routing
   Locator Address is considered numerically "less than" an IPv6 Routing
   Locator Address.

   When sending a Map-Reply message, the destination address is copied
   from one of the 'ITR-RLOC' fields from the Map-Request.  The ETR can
   choose a Routing Locator Address from one of the address families it
   supports.  For Data-Probes, the destination address of the Map-Reply
   is copied from the source address of the Data-Probe message that is
   invoking the reply.  The source address of the Map-Reply is one of
   the chosen local IP addresses; this allows Unicast Reverse Path
   Forwarding (uRPF) checks to succeed in the upstream service provider.
   The destination port of a Map-Reply message is copied from the source
   port of the Map-Request or Data-Probe, and the source port of the
   Map-Reply message is set to the well-known UDP port 4342.

5.6.  Map-Register Message Format

   This section specifies the encoding format for the Map-Register
   message.  The message is sent in UDP with a destination UDP port of
   4342 and a randomly selected UDP source port number.

   The fields below are used in multiple control messages.  They are
   defined for Map-Register, Map-Notify, and Map-Notify-Ack message
   types.

   The Map-Register message format is:

        0                   1                   2                   3

   Packet field descriptions:

   Type:  3 (Map-Register)

   P:  This is the proxy Map-Reply bit.  When set to 1, the ETR sending
      the Map-Register message is requesting the Map-Server to proxy a
      Map-Reply.  The Map-Server will send non-authoritative Map-Replies
      on behalf of the ETR.

   S:  This is the security-capable bit.  When set, the procedures from
      [RFC9303] are supported.

   I:  This is the ID-present bit.  This bit is set to 1 to indicate
      that a 128-bit 'xTR-ID' field and a 64-bit 'Site-ID' field are
      present at the end of the Map-Register message.  If an xTR is
      configured with an xTR-ID and Site-ID, it MUST set the I-bit to 1
      and include its xTR-ID and Site-ID in the Map-Register messages it
      generates.  The combination of Site-ID plus xTR-ID uniquely
      identifies an xTR in a LISP domain and serves to track its last
      seen nonce.

   Reserved:  This unassigned field MUST be set to 0 on transmit and
      MUST be ignored on receipt.

   E:  This is the Map-Register EID-notify bit.  This is used by a
      First-Hop Router that discovers a dynamic EID.  This EID-notify-
      based Map-Register is sent by the First-Hop Router to a same site
      xTR that propagates the Map-Register to the Mapping System.  The
      site xTR keeps state to later Map-Notify the First-Hop Router
      after the EID has moved away.  See [EID-MOBILITY] for a detailed
      use case.

   T:  This is the use TTL for timeout bit.  When set to 1, the xTR
      wants the Map-Server to time out registrations based on the value
      in the 'Record TTL' field of this message.  Otherwise, the default
      timeout described in Section 8.2 is used.

   a:  This is the merge-request bit.  When set to 1, the xTR requests
      to merge RLOC-Records from different xTRs registering the same
      EID-Record.  See Signal-Free Multicast [RFC8378] for one use-case
      example.

   R:  This reserved and unassigned bit MUST be set to 0 on transmit and
      MUST be ignored on receipt.

   M:  This is the want-map-notify bit.  When set to 1, an ETR is
      requesting a Map-Notify message to be returned in response to
      sending a Map-Register message.  The Map-Notify message sent by a
      Map-Server is used to acknowledge receipt of a Map-Register
      message.

   Record Count:  This is the number of records in this Map-Register
      message.  A record is comprised of that portion of the packet
      labeled 'Record' above and occurs the number of times equal to
      Record Count.

   Nonce:  This 8-octet 'Nonce' field is incremented each time a Map-
      Register message is sent.  When a Map-Register acknowledgment is
      requested, the nonce is returned by Map-Servers in Map-Notify
      messages.  Since the entire Map-Register message is authenticated,
      the 'Nonce' field serves to protect against Map-Register replay
      attacks.  An ETR that registers to the Mapping System SHOULD store
      the last nonce sent in persistent storage, so when it restarts, it
      can continue using an incrementing nonce.  If the ETR cannot
      support saving the nonce, then when it restarts, it MUST use a new
      authentication key to register to the Mapping System.  A Map-
      Server MUST track and save in persistent storage the last nonce
      received for each ETR xTR-ID and key pair.  If a Map-Register is
      received with a nonce value that is not greater than the saved
      nonce, it MUST drop the Map-Register message and SHOULD log the
      fact that a replay attack could have occurred.

   Key ID:  This is a key-id value that identifies a pre-shared secret
      between an ETR and a Map-Server.  Per-message keys are derived
      from the pre-shared secret to authenticate the origin and protect
      the integrity of the Map-Register.  The Key ID allows rotating
      between multiple pre-shared secrets in a nondisruptive way.  The
      pre-shared secret MUST be unique per each LISP Site-ID.

   Algorithm ID:  This field identifies the Key Derivation Function
      (KDF) and Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms used to
      derive the key and to compute the Authentication Data of a Map-
      Register.  This 8-bit field identifies the KDF and MAC algorithm
      pair.  See Section 12.5 for codepoint assignments.

   Authentication Data Length:  This is the length in octets of the
      'Authentication Data' field that follows this field.  The length
      of the 'Authentication Data' field is dependent on the MAC
      algorithm used.  The length field allows a device that doesn't
      know the MAC algorithm to correctly parse the packet.

   Authentication Data:  This is the output of the MAC algorithm placed
      in this field after the MAC computation.  The MAC output is
      computed as follows:

      1.  The KDF algorithm is identified by the 'Algorithm ID' field
          according to the table in Section 12.5.  Implementations of
          this specification MUST implement HMAC-SHA-256-128 [RFC4868]
          and SHOULD implement HMAC-SHA-256-128+HKDF-SHA256 [RFC5869].

      2.  The MAC algorithm is identified by the 'Algorithm ID' field
          according to the table in Section 12.5.

      3.  The pre-shared secret used to derive the per-message key is
          represented by PSK[Key ID], that is, the pre-shared secret
          identified by the Key ID.

      4.  The derived per-message key is computed as: per-msg-
          key=KDF(nonce+PSK[Key ID],s).  Where the nonce is the value in
          the 'Nonce' field of the Map-Register, "+" denotes
          concatenation and "s" (the salt) is a string that corresponds
          to the message type being authenticated.  For Map-Register
          messages, it is equal to "Map-Register Authentication".
          Similarly, for Map-Notify and Map-Notify-Ack messages, it is
          "Map-Notify Authentication" and "Map-Notify-Ack
          Authentication", respectively.  For those Algorithm IDs
          defined in Section 12.5 that specify a 'none' KDF, the per-
          message key is computed as: per-msg-key = PSK[Key ID].  This
          means that the same key is used across multiple protocol
          messages.

      5.  The MAC output is computed using the MAC algorithm and the
          per-msg-key over the entire Map-Register payload (from and
          including the LISP message type field through the end of the
          last RLOC-Record) with the authenticated data field preset to
          0.

   The definition of the rest of the Map-Register can be found in the
   EID-Record description in Section 5.4.  When the I-bit is set, the
   following fields are added to the end of the Map-Register message:

   xTR-ID:  'xTR-ID' is a 128-bit field at the end of the Map-Register
      message, starting after the final Record in the message.  The xTR-
      ID is used to uniquely identify an xTR.  The same xTR-ID value
      MUST NOT be used in two different xTRs in the scope of the Site-
      ID.

   Site-ID:  'Site-ID' is a 64-bit field at the end of the Map-Register
      message, following the xTR-ID.  The Site-ID is used to uniquely
      identify to which site the xTR that sent the message belongs.
      This document does not specify a strict meaning for the 'Site-ID'
      field.  Informally, it provides an indication that a group of xTRs
      have some relationship, either administratively, topologically, or
      otherwise.

5.7.  Map-Notify and Map-Notify-Ack Message Formats

   This section specifies the encoding format for the Map-Notify and
   Map-Notify-Ack messages.  The messages are sent inside a UDP packet
   with source and destination UDP ports equal to 4342.

   The Map-Notify and Map-Notify-Ack message formats are:

        0                   1                   2                   3

   Packet field descriptions:

   Type:  4/5 (Map-Notify/Map-Notify-Ack)

   The Map-Notify message has the same contents as a Map-Register
   message.  See "Map-Register Message Format" (Section 5.6) for field
   descriptions and "Map-Reply Message Format" (Section 5.4) for EID-
   Record and RLOC-Record descriptions.

   The fields of the Map-Notify are copied from the corresponding Map-
   Register to acknowledge its correct processing.  In the Map-Notify,
   the 'Authentication Data' field is recomputed using the corresponding
   per-message key and according to the procedure defined in the
   previous section.  The Map-Notify message can also be used in an
   unsolicited manner.  This topic is out of scope for this document.
   See [LISP-PUBSUB] for details.

   After sending a Map-Register, if a Map-Notify is not received after 1
   second, the transmitter MUST retransmit the original Map-Register
   with an exponential backoff (base of 2, that is, the next backoff
   timeout interval is doubled); the maximum backoff is 1 minute.  Map-
   Notify messages are only transmitted upon the reception of a Map-
   Register with the M-bit set; Map-Notify messages are not
   retransmitted.  The only exception to this is for unsolicited Map-
   Notify messages; see below.

   A Map-Server sends an unsolicited Map-Notify message (one that is not
   used as an acknowledgment to a Map-Register message) only in
   conformance with Section 3.1 ("Congestion Control Guidelines") of
   [RFC8085] and Section 3.3 ("Reliability Guidelines") of [RFC8085].  A
   Map-Notify is retransmitted until a Map-Notify-Ack is received by the
   Map-Server with the same nonce used in the Map-Notify message.  An
   implementation SHOULD retransmit up to 3 times at 3-second
   retransmission intervals, after which time the retransmission
   interval is exponentially backed off (base of 2, that is, the next
   backoff timeout interval is doubled) for another 3 retransmission
   attempts.  Map-Notify-Ack messages are only transmitted upon the
   reception of an unsolicited Map-Notify; Map-Notify-Ack messages are
   not retransmitted.

   The Map-Notify-Ack message has the same contents as a Map-Notify
   message.  It is used to acknowledge the receipt of an unsolicited
   Map-Notify and, once the Authentication Data is validated, allows the
   sender to stop retransmitting a Map-Notify with the same nonce and
   (validated) Authentication Data.  The fields of the Map-Notify-Ack
   are copied from the corresponding Map-Notify message to acknowledge
   its correct processing.  The 'Authentication Data' field is
   recomputed using the corresponding per-message key and according to
   the procedure defined in the previous section.

   Upon reception of a Map-Register, Map-Notify, or Map-Notify-Ack, the
   receiver verifies the Authentication Data.  If the Authentication
   Data fails to validate, the message is dropped without further
   processing.

5.8.  Encapsulated Control Message Format

   An Encapsulated Control Message (ECM) is used to encapsulate control
   packets sent between xTRs and the mapping database system or internal
   to the mapping database system.

   Packet header descriptions:

   OH:   This is the outer IPv4 or IPv6 header, which uses RLOC
         addresses in the source and destination header address fields.

   UDP:  This is the outer UDP header with destination port 4342.  The
         source port is randomly allocated.  The checksum field MUST be
         non-zero.

   LISP:  Type 8 is defined to be a "LISP Encapsulated Control Message",
         and what follows is either an IPv4 or IPv6 header, as encoded
         by the first 4 bits after the 'Reserved' field, or the
         'Authentication Data' field [RFC9303] if the S-bit (see below)
         is set.

   Type:  8 (Encapsulated Control Message (ECM))

   S:    This is the Security bit.  When set to 1, the field following
         the 'Reserved' field will have the following Authentication
         Data format and follow the procedures from [RFC9303].

    0                   1                   2                   3

   D:    This is the DDT-bit.  When set to 1, the sender is requesting a
         Map-Referral message to be returned.  Details regarding this
         procedure are described in [RFC8111].

   R:    This reserved and unassigned bit MUST be set to 0 on transmit
         and MUST be ignored on receipt.

   IH:   This is the inner IPv4 or IPv6 header, which can use either
         RLOC or EID addresses in the header address fields.  When a
         Map-Request is encapsulated in this packet format, the
         destination address in this header is an EID.

   UDP:  This is the inner UDP header, where the port assignments depend
         on the control packet being encapsulated.  When the control
         packet is a Map-Request or Map-Register, the source port is
         selected by the ITR/PITR and the destination port is 4342.
         When the control packet is a Map-Reply, the source port is 4342
         and the destination port is assigned from the source port of
         the invoking Map-Request.  Port number 4341 MUST NOT be
         assigned to either port.  The checksum field MUST be non-zero.

   LCM:  The format is one of the control message formats described in
         Section 5.  Map-Request messages are allowed to be control
         plane (ECM) encapsulated.  When Map-Requests are sent for RLOC-
         Probing purposes (i.e., the probe-bit is set), they MUST NOT be
         sent inside Encapsulated Control Messages.  PIM Join/Prune
         messages [RFC6831] are also allowed to be control plane (ECM)
         encapsulated.

6.  Changing the Contents of EID-to-RLOC Mappings

   In the LISP architecture, ITRs/PITRs use a local Map-Cache to store
   EID-to-RLOC mappings for forwarding.  When an ETR updates a mapping,
   a mechanism is required to inform ITRs/PITRs that are using such
   mappings.

   The LISP data plane defines several mechanisms to update mappings
   [RFC9300].  This document specifies the Solicit-Map-Request (SMR), a
   control plane push-based mechanism.  An additional control plane
   mechanism based on the Publish/Subscribe paradigm is specified in
   [LISP-PUBSUB].

6.1.  Solicit-Map-Request (SMR)

   Soliciting a Map-Request is a selective way for ETRs, at the site
   where mappings change, to control the rate they receive requests for
   Map-Reply messages.  SMRs are also used to tell remote ITRs to update
   the mappings they have cached.

   Since ETRs are not required to keep track of remote ITRs that have
   cached their mappings, they do not know which ITRs need to have their
   mappings updated.  As a result, an ETR will solicit Map-Requests to
   those sites to which it has been sending LISP encapsulated data
   packets for the last minute, and when an ETR is also acting as an
   ITR, it will send an SMR to an ITR to which it has recently sent
   encapsulated data.

   An SMR message is simply a bit set in a Map-Request message.  An ITR
   or PITR will send a Map-Request (SMR-invoked Map-Request) when it
   receives an SMR message.  While the SMR message is sent through the
   data plane, the SMR-invoked Map-Request MUST be sent through the
   Mapping System (not directly).

   Both the SMR sender and the SMR responder MUST rate limit these
   messages.  It is RECOMMENDED that the SMR sender rate limit a Map-
   Request for the same destination RLOC to no more than one packet
   every 3 seconds.  It is RECOMMENDED that the SMR responder rate limit
   a Map-Request for the same EID-Prefix to no more than once every 3
   seconds.

   When an ITR receives an SMR message for which it does not have a
   cached mapping for the EID in the SMR message, it SHOULD NOT send an
   SMR-invoked Map-Request.  This scenario can occur when an ETR sends
   SMR messages to all Locators in the Locator-Set it has stored in its
   Map-Cache but the remote ITRs that receive the SMR may not be sending
   packets to the site.  There is no point in updating the ITRs until
   they need to send, in which case they will send Map-Requests to
   obtain a Map-Cache entry.

7.  Routing Locator Reachability

   This document defines several control plane mechanisms for
   determining RLOC reachability.  Please note that additional data
   plane reachability mechanisms are defined in [RFC9300].

   1.  An ITR may receive an ICMP Network Unreachable or Host
       Unreachable message for an RLOC it is using.  This indicates that
       the RLOC is likely down.  Note that trusting ICMP messages may
       not be desirable, but neither is ignoring them completely.
       Implementations are encouraged to follow current best practices
       in treating these conditions [OPSEC-ICMP-FILTER].

   2.  When an ITR participates in the routing protocol that operates in
       the underlay routing system, it can determine that an RLOC is
       down when no Routing Information Base (RIB) entry exists that
       matches the RLOC IP address.

   3.  An ITR may receive an ICMP Port Unreachable message from a
       destination host.  This occurs if an ITR attempts to use
       interworking [RFC6832] and LISP-encapsulated data is sent to a
       non-LISP-capable site.

   4.  An ITR may receive a Map-Reply from an ETR in response to a
       previously sent Map-Request.  The RLOC source of the Map-Reply is
       likely up, since the ETR was able to send the Map-Reply to the
       ITR.  Please note that in some scenarios the RLOC -- from the
       outer header -- can be a spoofable field.

   5.  An ITR/ETR pair can use the 'RLOC-Probing' mechanism described
       below.

   When ITRs receive ICMP Network Unreachable or Host Unreachable
   messages as a method to determine unreachability, they will refrain
   from using Locators that are described in Locator lists of Map-
   Replies.  However, using this approach is unreliable because many
   network operators turn off generation of ICMP Destination Unreachable
   messages.

   If an ITR does receive an ICMP Network Unreachable or Host
   Unreachable message, it MAY originate its own ICMP Destination
   Unreachable message destined for the host that originated the data
   packet the ITR encapsulated.

   This assumption does create a dependency: Locator unreachability is
   detected by the receipt of ICMP Host Unreachable messages.  When a
   Locator has been determined to be unreachable, it is not used for
   active traffic; this is the same as if it were listed in a Map-Reply
   with Priority 255.

   The ITR can test the reachability of the unreachable Locator by
   sending periodic Map-Requests.  Both Map-Requests and Map-Replies
   MUST be rate limited; see Sections 5.3 and 5.4 for information about
   rate limiting.  Locator reachability testing is never done with data
   packets, since that increases the risk of packet loss for end-to-end
   sessions.

7.1.  RLOC-Probing Algorithm

   RLOC-Probing is a method that an ITR or PITR can use to determine the
   reachability status of one or more Locators that it has cached in a
   Map-Cache entry.  The probe-bit of the Map-Request and Map-Reply
   messages is used for RLOC-Probing.

   RLOC-Probing is done in the control plane on a timer basis, where an
   ITR or PITR will originate a Map-Request destined to a Routing
   Locator Address from one of its own Routing Locator Addresses.  A
   Map-Request used as an RLOC-Probe is NOT encapsulated and NOT sent to
   a Map-Server or to the mapping database system as one would when
   requesting mapping data.  The EID-Record encoded in the Map-Request
   is the EID-Prefix of the Map-Cache entry cached by the ITR or PITR.
   The ITR MAY include a mapping data record for its own database
   mapping information that contains the local EID-Prefixes and RLOCs
   for its site.  RLOC-Probes are sent periodically using a jittered
   timer interval.

   When an ETR receives a Map-Request message with the probe-bit set, it
   returns a Map-Reply with the probe-bit set.  The source address of
   the Map-Reply is set to the IP address of the outgoing interface the
   Map-Reply destination address routes to.  The Map-Reply SHOULD
   contain mapping data for the EID-Prefix contained in the Map-Request.
   This provides the opportunity for the ITR or PITR that sent the RLOC-
   Probe to get mapping updates if there were changes to the ETR's
   database mapping entries.

   There are advantages and disadvantages of RLOC-Probing.  The main
   benefit of RLOC-Probing is that it can handle many failure scenarios,
   allowing the ITR to determine when the path to a specific Locator is
   reachable or has become unreachable, thus providing a robust
   mechanism for switching to using another Locator from the cached
   Locator.  RLOC-Probing can also provide rough Round-Trip Time (RTT)
   estimates between a pair of Locators, which can be useful for network
   management purposes as well as for selecting low-delay paths.  The
   major disadvantage of RLOC-Probing is in the number of control
   messages required and the amount of bandwidth used to obtain those
   benefits, especially if the requirement for failure detection times
   is very small.

8.  Interactions with Other LISP Components

8.1.  ITR EID-to-RLOC Mapping Resolution

   An ITR is configured with one or more Map-Resolver addresses.  These
   addresses are "Locators" (or RLOCs) and MUST be routable on the
   underlying core network; they MUST NOT need to be resolved through
   LISP EID-to-RLOC mapping, as that would introduce a circular
   dependency.  When using a Map-Resolver, an ITR does not need to
   connect to any other database Mapping System.

   An ITR sends an Encapsulated Map-Request to a configured Map-Resolver
   when it needs an EID-to-RLOC mapping that is not found in its local
   Map-Cache.  Using the Map-Resolver greatly reduces both the
   complexity of the ITR implementation and the costs associated with
   its operation.

   In response to an Encapsulated Map-Request, the ITR can expect one of
   the following:

   *  An immediate Negative Map-Reply (with action code "Natively-
      Forward" and a 15-minute TTL) from the Map-Resolver if the Map-
      Resolver can determine that the requested EID does not exist.  The
      ITR saves the EID-Prefix returned in the Map-Reply in its cache,
      marks it as non-LISP-capable, and knows not to attempt LISP
      encapsulation for destinations matching it.

   *  A Negative Map-Reply (with action code "Natively-Forward") from a
      Map-Server that is authoritative (within the LISP deployment
      (Section 1.1)) for an EID-Prefix that matches the requested EID
      but that does not have an actively registered, more-specific EID-
      Prefix.  In this case, the requested EID is said to match a "hole"
      in the authoritative EID-Prefix.  If the requested EID matches a
      more-specific EID-Prefix that has been delegated by the Map-Server
      but for which no ETRs are currently registered, a 1-minute TTL is
      returned.  If the requested EID matches a non-delegated part of
      the authoritative EID-Prefix, then it is not a LISP EID and a
      15-minute TTL is returned.  See Section 8.2 for a discussion of
      aggregate EID-Prefixes and details regarding Map-Server EID-Prefix
      matching.

   *  A LISP Map-Reply from the ETR that owns the EID-to-RLOC mapping or
      possibly from a Map-Server answering on behalf of the ETR.  See
      Section 8.4 for more details on Map-Resolver message processing.

   Note that an ITR may be configured to both use a Map-Resolver and
   participate in a LISP-ALT logical network.  In such a situation, the
   ITR SHOULD send Map-Requests through the ALT network for any EID-
   Prefix learned via ALT BGP.  Such a configuration is expected to be
   very rare, since there is little benefit to using a Map-Resolver if
   an ITR is already using LISP-ALT.  There would be, for example, no
   need for such an ITR to send a Map-Request to a possibly non-existent
   EID (and rely on Negative Map-Replies) if it can consult the ALT
   database to verify that an EID-Prefix is present before sending that
   Map-Request.

8.2.  EID-Prefix Configuration and ETR Registration

   An ETR publishes its EID-Prefixes on a Map-Server by sending LISP
   Map-Register messages.  A Map-Register message includes
   Authentication Data, so prior to sending a Map-Register message, the
   ETR and Map-Server MUST be configured with a pre-shared secret used
   to derive Map-Register authentication keys.  A Map-Server's
   configuration SHOULD also include a list of the EID-Prefixes for
   which each ETR is authoritative.  Upon receipt of a Map-Register from
   an ETR, a Map-Server accepts only EID-Prefixes that are configured
   for that ETR.  Failure to implement such a check would leave the
   Mapping System vulnerable to trivial EID-Prefix hijacking attacks.

   In addition to the set of EID-Prefixes defined for each ETR that may
   register, a Map-Server is typically also configured with one or more
   aggregate prefixes that define the part of the EID numbering space
   assigned to it.  When LISP-ALT is the database in use, aggregate EID-
   Prefixes are implemented as discard routes and advertised into ALT
   BGP.  The existence of aggregate EID-Prefixes in a Map-Server's
   database means that it may receive Map-Requests for EID-Prefixes that
   match an aggregate but do not match a registered prefix; Section 8.3
   describes how this is handled.

   Map-Register messages are sent periodically from an ETR to a Map-
   Server with a suggested interval between messages of one minute.  A
   Map-Server SHOULD time out and remove an ETR's registration if it has
   not received a valid Map-Register message within the past
   three minutes.  When first contacting a Map-Server after restart or
   changes to its EID-to-RLOC database mappings, an ETR MAY initially
   send Map-Register messages at an increased frequency, up to one every
   20 seconds.  This "quick registration" period is limited to
   five minutes in duration.

   An ETR MAY request that a Map-Server explicitly acknowledge receipt
   and processing of a Map-Register message by setting the "want-map-
   notify" (M-bit) flag.  A Map-Server that receives a Map-Register with
   this flag set will respond with a Map-Notify message.  Typical use of
   this flag by an ETR would be to set it for Map-Register messages sent
   during the initial "quick registration" with a Map-Server but then
   set it only occasionally during steady-state maintenance of its
   association with that Map-Server.  Note that the Map-Notify message
   is sent to UDP destination port 4342, not to the source port
   specified in the original Map-Register message.

   Note that a one-minute minimum registration interval during
   maintenance of an ETR-Map-Server association places a lower bound on
   how quickly and how frequently a mapping database entry can be
   updated.  This may have implications for what sorts of mobility can
   be supported directly by the Mapping System; shorter registration
   intervals or other mechanisms might be needed to support faster
   mobility in some cases.  For a discussion on one way that faster
   mobility may be implemented for individual devices, please see
   [LISP-MN].

   An ETR MAY also request, by setting the "proxy Map-Reply" flag
   (P-bit) in the Map-Register message, that a Map-Server answer Map-
   Requests instead of forwarding them to the ETR.  See Section 7.1 for
   details on how the Map-Server sets certain flags (such as those
   indicating whether the message is authoritative and how returned
   Locators SHOULD be treated) when sending a Map-Reply on behalf of an
   ETR.  When an ETR requests proxy reply service, it SHOULD include all
   RLOCs for all ETRs for the EID-Prefix being registered, along with
   the routable flag ("R-bit") setting for each RLOC.  The Map-Server
   includes all of this information in Map-Reply messages that it sends
   on behalf of the ETR.  This differs from a non-proxy registration,
   since the latter need only provide one or more RLOCs for a Map-Server
   to use for forwarding Map-Requests; the registration information is
   not used in Map-Replies, so it being incomplete is not incorrect.

   An ETR that uses a Map-Server to publish its EID-to-RLOC mappings
   does not need to participate further in the mapping database
   protocol(s).  When using a LISP-ALT mapping database, for example,
   this means that the ETR does not need to implement GRE or BGP, which
   greatly simplifies its configuration and reduces its cost of
   operation.

   Note that use of a Map-Server does not preclude an ETR from also
   connecting to the mapping database (i.e., it could also connect to
   the LISP-ALT network), but doing so doesn't seem particularly useful,
   as the whole purpose of using a Map-Server is to avoid the complexity
   of the mapping database protocols.

8.3.  Map-Server Processing

   Once a Map-Server has EID-Prefixes registered by its client ETRs, it
   can accept and process Map-Requests for them.

   In response to a Map-Request, the Map-Server first checks to see if
   the destination EID matches a configured EID-Prefix.  If there is no
   match, the Map-Server returns a Negative Map-Reply with action code
   "Natively-Forward" and a 15-minute TTL.  This can occur if a Map-
   Request is received for a configured aggregate EID-Prefix for which
   no more-specific EID-Prefix exists; it indicates the presence of a
   non-LISP "hole" in the aggregate EID-Prefix.

   Next, the Map-Server checks to see if any ETRs have registered the
   matching EID-Prefix.  If none are found, then the Map-Server returns
   a Negative Map-Reply with action code "Natively-Forward" and a
   1-minute TTL.

   If the EID-Prefix is either registered or not registered to the
   Mapping System and there is a policy in the Map-Server to have the
   requester drop packets for the matching EID-Prefix, then a Drop/
   Policy-Denied action is returned.  If the EID-Prefix is registered or
   not registered and there is an authentication failure, then a Drop/
   Auth-Failure action is returned.  If either of these actions results
   as a temporary state in policy or authentication, then a Send-Map-
   Request action with a 1-minute TTL MAY be returned to allow the
   requester to retry the Map-Request.

   If any of the registered ETRs for the EID-Prefix have requested proxy
   reply service, then the Map-Server answers the request instead of
   forwarding it.  It returns a Map-Reply with the EID-Prefix, RLOCs,
   and other information learned through the registration process.

   If none of the ETRs have requested proxy reply service, then the Map-
   Server re-encapsulates and forwards the resulting Encapsulated Map-
   Request to one of the registered ETRs.  It does not otherwise alter
   the Map-Request, so any Map-Reply sent by the ETR is returned to the
   RLOC in the Map-Request, not to the Map-Server.  Unless also acting
   as a Map-Resolver, a Map-Server should never receive Map-Replies; any
   such messages SHOULD be discarded without response, perhaps
   accompanied by the logging of a diagnostic message if the rate of
   Map-Replies is suggestive of malicious traffic.

8.4.  Map-Resolver Processing

   Upon receipt of an Encapsulated Map-Request, a Map-Resolver
   decapsulates the enclosed message and then searches for the requested
   EID in its local database of mapping entries (statically configured
   or learned from associated ETRs if the Map-Resolver is also a Map-
   Server offering proxy reply service).  If it finds a matching entry,
   it returns a LISP Map-Reply with the known mapping.

   If the Map-Resolver does not have the mapping entry and if it can
   determine that the EID is not in the mapping database (for example,
   if LISP-ALT is used, the Map-Resolver will have an ALT forwarding
   table that covers the full EID space), it immediately returns a
   Negative Map-Reply with action code "Natively-Forward" and a
   15-minute TTL.  To minimize the number of negative cache entries
   needed by an ITR, the Map-Resolver SHOULD return the least-specific
   prefix that both matches the original query and does not match any
   EID-Prefix known to exist in the LISP-capable infrastructure.

   If the Map-Resolver does not have sufficient information to know
   whether the EID exists, it needs to forward the Map-Request to
   another device that has more information about the EID being
   requested.  To do this, it forwards the unencapsulated Map-Request,
   with the original ITR RLOC as the source, to the mapping database
   system.  Using LISP-ALT, the Map-Resolver is connected to the ALT
   network and sends the Map-Request to the next ALT hop learned from
   its ALT BGP neighbors.  The Map-Resolver does not send any response
   to the ITR; since the source RLOC is that of the ITR, the ETR or Map-
   Server that receives the Map-Request over the ALT and responds will
   do so directly to the ITR.

8.4.1.  Anycast Operation

   A Map-Resolver can be set up to use "anycast", where the same address
   is assigned to multiple Map-Resolvers and is propagated through IGP
   routing, to facilitate the use of a topologically close Map-Resolver
   by each ITR.

   ETRs MAY have anycast RLOC addresses that are registered as part of
   their RLOC-Set to the Mapping System.  However, registrations MUST
   use their unique RLOC addresses, distinct authentication keys, or
   different xTR-IDs to identify security associations with the Map-
   Servers.

9.  Security Considerations

   A LISP threat analysis can be found in [RFC7835].  Here, we highlight
   security considerations that apply when LISP is deployed in
   environments such as those specified in Section 1.1, where the
   following assumptions hold:

   1.  The Mapping System is secure and trusted, and for the purpose of
       these security considerations, the Mapping System is considered
       as one trusted element.

   2.  The ETRs have a preconfigured trust relationship with the Mapping
       System, including some form of shared secret.  The Mapping System
       is aware of which EIDs an ETR can advertise.  How those keys and
       mappings are established is out of scope for this document.

   3.  LISP-SEC [RFC9303] MUST be implemented.  Network operators should
       carefully weigh how the LISP-SEC threat model applies to their
       particular use case or deployment.  If they decide to ignore a
       particular recommendation, they should make sure the risk
       associated with the corresponding threats is well understood.

   The Map-Request/Map-Reply message exchange can be exploited by an
   attacker to mount DoS and/or amplification attacks.  Attackers can
   send Map-Requests at high rates to overload LISP nodes and increase
   the state maintained by such nodes or consume CPU cycles.  Such
   threats can be mitigated by systematically applying filters and rate
   limiters.

   The Map-Request/Map-Reply message exchange can also be exploited to
   inject forged mappings directly into the ITR EID-to-RLOC Map-Cache.
   This can lead to traffic being redirected to the attacker; see
   further details in [RFC7835].  In addition, valid ETRs in the system
   can perform overclaiming attacks.  In this case, attackers can claim
   to own an EID-Prefix that is larger than the prefix owned by the ETR.
   Such attacks can be addressed by using LISP-SEC [RFC9303].  The LISP-
   SEC protocol defines a mechanism for providing origin authentication,
   integrity protection, and prevention of 'man-in-the-middle' and
   'prefix overclaiming' attacks on the Map-Request/Map-Reply exchange.
   In addition, and while beyond the scope of securing an individual
   Map-Server or Map-Resolver, it should be noted that LISP-SEC can be
   complemented by additional security mechanisms defined by the Mapping
   System infrastructure.  For instance, BGP-based LISP-ALT [RFC6836]
   can take advantage of standards work on adding security to BGP, while
   LISP-DDT [RFC8111] defines its own additional security mechanisms.

   To publish an authoritative EID-to-RLOC mapping with a Map-Server
   using the Map-Register message, an ETR includes Authentication Data
   that is a MAC of the entire message using a key derived from the pre-
   shared secret.  An implementation SHOULD support HMAC-SHA256-
   128+HKDF-SHA256 [RFC5869].  The Map-Register message includes
   protection against replay attacks by a man in the middle.  However,
   there is a potential attack where a compromised ETR could overclaim
   the prefix it owns and successfully register it on its corresponding
   Map-Server.  To mitigate this, as noted in Section 8.2, a Map-Server
   MUST verify that all EID-Prefixes registered by an ETR match the
   configuration stored on the Map-Server.

   Deployments concerned about manipulations of Map-Request and Map-
   Reply messages and malicious ETR EID-Prefix overclaiming MUST drop
   LISP control plane messages that do not contain LISP-SEC material
   (S-bit, EID-AD, OTK-AD, PKT-AD).  See Section 3 of [RFC9303] for
   definitions of "EID-AD", "OTK-AD", and "PKT-AD".

   Mechanisms to encrypt, support privacy, and prevent eavesdropping and
   packet tampering for messages exchanged between xTRs, between xTRs
   and the Mapping System, and between nodes that make up the Mapping
   System SHOULD be deployed.  Examples of this are DTLS [RFC9147] or
   "lisp-crypto" [RFC8061].

10.  Privacy Considerations

   As noted by [RFC6973], privacy is a complex issue that greatly
   depends on the specific protocol use case and deployment.  As noted
   in Section 1.1 of [RFC9300], LISP focuses on use cases where entities
   communicate over the public Internet while keeping separate
   addressing and topology.  Here, we detail the privacy threats
   introduced by the LISP control plane; the analysis is based on the
   guidelines detailed in [RFC6973].

   LISP can use long-lived identifiers (EIDs) that survive mobility
   events.  Such identifiers bind to the RLOCs of the nodes.  The RLOCs
   represent the topological location with respect to the specific LISP
   deployments.  In addition, EID-to-RLOC mappings are typically
   considered public information within the LISP deployment when control
   plane messages are not encrypted and can be eavesdropped while Map-
   Request messages are sent to the corresponding Map-Resolvers or Map-
   Register messages to Map-Servers.

   In this context, attackers can correlate the EID with the RLOC and
   track the corresponding user topological location and/or mobility.
   This can be achieved by off-path attackers, if they are
   authenticated, by querying the Mapping System.  Deployments concerned
   about this threat can use access control lists or stronger
   authentication mechanisms [ECDSA-AUTH] in the Mapping System to make
   sure that only authorized users can access this information (data
   minimization).  Use of ephemeral EIDs [EID-ANONYMITY] to achieve
   anonymity is another mechanism to lessen persistency and identity
   tracking.

11.  Changes Related to RFCs 6830 and 6833

   For implementation considerations, the following major changes have
   been made to this document since [RFC6830] and [RFC6833] were
   published:

   *  The 16-bit 'Key ID' field of the Map-Register and Map-Notify
      messages as defined in [RFC6830] has been split into an 8-bit 'Key
      ID' field and an 8-bit 'Algorithm ID' field.  Note that this
      change also applies to the Map-Notify-Ack message defined by this
      document.  See Sections 5.6 and 5.7.

   *  This document defines a Map-Notify-Ack message to provide
      reliability for Map-Notify messages.  Any receiver of a Map-Notify
      message must respond with a Map-Notify-Ack message.  Map-Servers
      who are senders of Map-Notify messages must queue the Map-Notify
      contents until they receive a Map-Notify-Ack with the nonce used
      in the Map-Notify message.  Note that implementations for Map-
      Notify-Ack support already exist and predate this document.

   *  This document has incorporated the codepoint for the Map-Referral
      message from the LISP-DDT specification [RFC8111] to indicate that
      a Map-Server must send the final Map-Referral message when it
      participates in the LISP-DDT Mapping System procedures.

   *  Bits L and D have been added to the Map-Request message.  See
      Section 5.3 for details.

   *  Bits S, I, E, T, a, R, and M have been added to the Map-Register
      message.  See Section 5.6 for details.

   *  The nonce and the Authentication Data in the Map-Register message
      each behave differently; see Section 5.6 for details.

   *  This document adds two new action values that are in an EID-Record
      that appears in Map-Reply, Map-Register, Map-Notify, and Map-
      Notify-Ack messages.  These new action values are Drop/Policy-
      Denied and Drop/Auth-Failure.  See Section 5.4 for details.

12.  IANA Considerations

   This section provides guidance to IANA regarding registration of
   values related to this LISP control plane specification, in
   accordance with BCP 26 [RFC8126].

   *  LISP IANA registry allocations should not be made for purposes
      unrelated to LISP routing or transport protocols.

   *  The following policies are used here with the meanings defined in
      BCP 26 [RFC8126]: "Specification Required", "IETF Review",
      "Experimental Use", and "First Come First Served".

   There are three namespaces (listed in the sub-sections below) in LISP
   that have been registered (see [RFC9299].

12.1.  LISP UDP Port Numbers

   IANA allocated UDP port number 4342 for the LISP control plane.  IANA
   has updated the description for UDP port 4342 to reflect the
   following:

   +==============+=============+===========+==============+===========+
   | Service Name | Port        | Transport | Description  | Reference |
   |              | Number      | Protocol  |              |           |
   +==============+=============+===========+==============+===========+
   | lisp-control | 4342        | udp       | LISP Control | RFC 9301  |
   |              |             |           | Packets      |           |
   +--------------+-------------+-----------+--------------+-----------+

                                  Table 2

12.2.  LISP Packet Type Codes

   IANA is now authoritative for LISP Packet Type definitions, so they
   have replaced the registry references to [RFC6830] with references to
   this document.

   Based on deployment experience related to [RFC6830], the Map-Notify-
   Ack message (message type 5) is defined in this document.  IANA has
   registered it in the "LISP Packet Types" registry.

                +=====================+======+===========+
                | Message             | Code | Reference |
                +=====================+======+===========+
                | LISP Map-Notify-Ack | 5    | RFC 9301  |
                +---------------------+------+-----------+

                                 Table 3

12.3.  LISP Map-Reply EID-Record Action Codes

   New ACT values can be allocated through IETF Review or IESG Approval.
   Four values have already been allocated by [RFC6830].  IANA has
   replaced the reference pointing to [RFC6830] to point to this
   document.  This specification changes the Action name of value 3 from
   "Drop" to "Drop/No-Reason".  It also adds the following new ACT
   values.

    +=======+===============+=============================+===========+
    | Value | Action        | Description                 | Reference |
    +=======+===============+=============================+===========+
    | 4     | Drop/Policy-  | A packet matching this Map- | RFC 9301  |
    |       | Denied        | Cache entry is dropped      |           |
    |       |               | because the target EID is   |           |
    |       |               | policy-denied by the xTR or |           |
    |       |               | the Mapping System.         |           |
    +-------+---------------+-----------------------------+-----------+
    | 5     | Drop/Auth-    | A packet matching this Map- | RFC 9301  |
    |       | Failure       | Cache entry is dropped      |           |
    |       |               | because the Map-Request for |           |
    |       |               | the target EID fails an     |           |
    |       |               | authentication check by the |           |
    |       |               | xTR or the Mapping System.  |           |
    +-------+---------------+-----------------------------+-----------+

                   Table 4: LISP Map-Reply Action Values

   In addition, LISP has a number of flag fields and reserved fields,
   such as the flags of the LISP header fields [RFC9300].  New bits for
   flags in these fields can be implemented after IETF Review or IESG
   Approval, but these need not be managed by IANA.

12.4.  LISP Address Type Codes

   LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) [RFC8060] has an 8-bit Type
   field that defines LISP-specific encodings for AFI value 16387.  LCAF
   encodings are used for specific use cases where different address
   types for EID-Records and RLOC-Records are required.

   The "LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) Types" registry is used for
   LCAF types.  The registry for LCAF types uses the Specification
   Required policy [RFC8126].  Initial values for the registry as well
   as further information can be found in [RFC8060].

   Therefore, there is no longer a need for the "LISP Address Type
   Codes" registry requested by [RFC6830].  Per this document, the
   registry has been closed.

12.5.  LISP Algorithm ID Numbers

   In [RFC6830], a request for a "LISP Key ID Numbers" registry was
   submitted.  Per this document, IANA has renamed the registry to "LISP
   Algorithm ID Numbers" and listed this document as the registry
   reference.

   The following Algorithm ID values are defined by this specification,
   as used in any packet type that references an 'Algorithm ID' field:

     +=============================+========+===========+===========+
     | Name                        | Number | MAC       | KDF       |
     +=============================+========+===========+===========+
     | None                        | 0      | None      | None      |
     +-----------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+
     | HMAC-SHA-1-96-None          | 1      | [RFC2404] | None      |
     +-----------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+
     | HMAC-SHA-256-128-None       | 2      | [RFC4868] | None      |
     +-----------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+
     | HMAC-SHA256-128+HKDF-SHA256 | 3      | [RFC4868] | [RFC4868] |
     +-----------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+

                                 Table 5

   Number values are in the range of 0 to 255.  Values are assigned on a
   First Come First Served basis.

12.6.  LISP Bit Flags

   This document asks IANA to create a registry for allocation of bits
   in several headers of the LISP control plane, namely in Map-Request
   messages, Map-Reply messages, Map-Register messages, and Encapsulated
   Control Messages.  Bit allocations are also requested for EID-Records
   and RLOC-Records.  The registry created should be named "LISP Control
   Plane Header Bits".  A subregistry needs to be created per each
   message and EID-Record.  The name of each subregistry is indicated
   below, along with its format and allocation of bits defined in this
   document.  Any additional bit allocations require a specification, in
   accordance with policies defined in [RFC8126].

   Subregistry: Map-Request Header Bits (Section 5.2):
