There hasn't been much discussion on the mapping churn rate. There have been a few good questions, but not much back and forth. Do folks have an opinion or should I just propose some text?
I understand you're trying to nail down criteria, but I think it's premature to put numbers on this. To start with, are you still using a general definition of "mapping", or is the question specific to intermediary-based map-n-encap? Second, are you assuming a single database that needs to be updated, or allowing for multiple DBs or distributed DB? Are you taking into account that in pull models "outdated" mapping entries might still be valid?
It might be better to turn this on its side. Instead of organizing your questions by different functions like mapping discovery/distribution, organize them by the points where functions take place. So instead of asking about "mapping churn rate at all possible places", how about "all kinds of requirements at intermediate map-n-encap points"?
