I do not see why, based on this note, this document should mandate anything about the relationship of the N and L bits to the R bit.Everything works if we say nothing about that relationship.Okay, so how about this text: R: this is the Research bit. This bit is reserved and it's usage is not documented in this specification. L: this is the Locator-Status-Bits field enabled bit. When this bit is set to 1, the Locator-Status-Bits in the second 32-bits of the LISP header are in use. N: this is the nonce-present bit. When this bit is set to 1, the low-order 24-bits of the first 32-bits of the LISP header contains a Nonce. See section Section 6.3.1 for details. E: this is the echo-nonce-request bit. When this bit is set to 1, the N bit must be 1 and the R bit must be 0. This bit should be ignored and has no meaning when the N bit is set to 0. See section Section 6.3.1 for details. No other reference to relationships of R, L, and N bit. Converged? Dino
