Abstract:
This document describes the LISP (Locator/ID Separation Protocol) Map-Versioning
mechanism, which provides in-packet information about Endpoint ID to Routing Locator (EID-to-RLOC) mappings used to
encapsulate LISP data packets. The proposed approach is based on associating a version number to
EID-to-RLOC mappings and the transport of such a version number in the LISP-specific header of
LISP-encapsulated packets. LISP Map-Versioning is particularly useful to inform communicating Ingress Tunnel Routers (ITRs) and
Egress Tunnel Routers (ETRs) about modifications of the mappings used to encapsulate packets. The mechanism
is transparent to implementations not supporting this feature, since in the LISP- specific header and
in the Map Records, bits used for Map-Versioning can be safely ignored by ITRs and
ETRs that do not support the mechanism. This document defines an Experimental
Protocol for the Internet community.
