1.  Introduction

   Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP, [RFC6830] ) operation relies
   upon a mapping mechanism that is used by ingress/egress Tunnel
   Routers (xTR) to forward traffic over the LISP network.  This
   document extends LISP with a capability for bulk mappings retrieval.
   It does so by defining new LISP messages that are meant to facilitate
   state recovery of mapping tables and improve Ingress Tunnel Routers
   (ITR) recovery times, in particular.

   The base LISP specification does not define how a requestor may ask
   for multiple EIDs.  Indeed, the current LISP specification [RFC6830]
   states the following:

         Support for requesting multiple EIDs in a single Map-Request
         message will be specified in a future version of the protocol.

   The document defines a backward compatible extension of the LISP Map-
   Request message to request multiple records (Section 3).

   A more reliable method for bulk retrieval is defined in
   [I-D.boucadair-lisp-bulk].  It does so by using TCP ([RFC0793]) as a
   transport protocol for exchanges the bulk retrieval messages.

2.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

3.  Map-Request with Multiple Records

   As mentioned in Section 1, [RFC6830] does not specify how an ITR can
   request for multiple EIDs using the same Map-Request message.  This
   document fills that void.

   Figure 1 shows the difference between the Map-Request message format
   as defined in [RFC6830] and the new format that includes the proposed
   extension.  This extension is meant to allow an ITR to request
   multiple EID records by using the same Map-Request.

   The proposed design is backward compatible since it aligns the
   additional requested EID records at the end of the Map-Request
   message.

   As specified in [RFC6830], a mapping system must be prepared to
   receive a request for multiple EID records in a Map-Request message.
   A receiver relies upon the content of the "Record Count" field of the
   Map-Request message to detect whether one or multiple records are
   carried in the request.

   The description of the fields of the updated Map-Request message is
   exactly the same as in [RFC6830], except the additional records that
   are prepended after the "Map-Reply Record" . The structure of a
   record is exactly the same as in [RFC6830].

   When extracting the records included in a Map-Request message, a Map-
   Resolver replies with the list of mappings that match these records.
   One or multiple Map-Reply messages may be required to carry the
   mapping records that match the requested EIDs included in a Map-
   Request.

   An ITR MUST be prepared to receive multiple Map-Reply messages from a
   Map-Resolver as a response to a bulk Map-Request message that it
   originally sent to that Map-Resolver.

   In order to inform an ITR that subsequent Map-Reply messages will
   follow (or not) , a dedicated flag bit is defined for this purpose:
   it is called the M-bit (more-map-reply bit).

Internet-Draft            LISP Multiple Records             October 2017


   When set, the M-bit (more-map-reply bit) flag indicates this is not
   the last Map-Reply message to be received by the requesting ITR;
   additional Map-Reply messages follow.  An implementation uses this
   bit to decide when to terminate a request/response transaction.

   If multiple Map-Reply messages are required to respond to a Map-
   Request message, a Map-Resolver MUST set the M-bit flag for all Map-
   Reply messages except for the last Map-Reply message.
