LISP does have negative replies.THe interesting problem in this case is that it is not at all clear that an error reply to the ITR (the normal target of ETR map responses), could do anything with such a message. For a map request to get to an ETR which is not authoritative would imply something went wrong in the ALT. Such things do happen.

So, what happens if/when a Map-Request packets arrives at an ETR which is not authoritative for the request EID? I looked at the spec, but I don't think how to handle this is described? (Although perhaps I was just too hasty?) I would assume this should result in an error reply, but I don't think LISP has error replies (yet)?
