There is other wording that also implies that the Map- Register and

They will be 'encapsulated' (as in, wrapped inside another IP/UDP/LISP
header), but they will not have these authentication fields (AFAIK). Was
that what you were asking?

No, that's not what I was asking...

Vince's proposal indicated that we would change the encapsulation of the Map-Request (which was encapsulated in a LISP Data packet in the -04 draft) to use an outer header with port 4342 (instead of 4241) and a LISP Control message (instead of the LISP Data header) with a type of "Encapsulated Control Packet".

Vince's proposal didn't say anything about encapsulating the Map- Register and Map-Reply messages in the new "Encapsulated Control Message" format. The Map-Register and Map-Reply are not encapsulated in the -04 draft, they are just sent as normal UDP/IP packets, and I don't think we agreed to change that.

Did I miss something?
