1. Introduction
The LISP architecture [RFC6830] specifies two namespaces, End-Point
IDs (EIDs) and Routing Locators (RLOCs). An EID identifies a node in
the network and the RLOC indicates the EID's topological location.
When an node roams in the network, its EID remains fixed and
unchanged but the RLOCs associated with it change to reflect its new
topological attachment point. This specification will focus EIDs and
RLOCs residing in separate nodes. An EID is assigned to a host node
that roams while the RLOCs are assigned to network nodes that stay
stationary and are part of the network topology. For example, a set
of devices on an aircraft are assigned EIDs, and base stations on the
