The RFC defines terminology used by the decentralized mapping-system design:

|---|---|
| MSP | Mapping System Provider, third-party LISP Mapping System infrastructure |
| DMS | Decentralized Mapping System managed by participating xTR nodes |
| Decent-Pull-Based Mapping System | DNS and hash-based lookup/registration system |
| Decent-Push-Based Mapping System | IP multicast based registration distribution system |
| Modulus Value | Number of Map-Server sets used to compute Name Index |
| Name Index | Index prepended to a DNS Map-Server name |
| Hash Mask | Mask selecting high-order EID-prefix bits for hashing |
| RLE | Replication List Entry from RFC 8060 |
| Group Address EID | Multicast-info EID record such as (0.0.0.0/0, G) or (0::/0, G) |
| Seed-Group | Set of Map-Servers used to bootstrap LISP-Decent xTRs |
The BCP 14 requirements language from RFC 2119 and RFC 8174 applies only when the key words are written in all capitals.
