The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)
draft-ietf-lisp-rfc6830bis-12
Abstract
This document describes the Data-Plane protocol for the Locator/ID
Separation Protocol (LISP). LISP defines two namespaces, End-point
Identifiers (EIDs) that identify end-hosts and Routing Locators
(RLOCs) that identify network attachment points. With this, LISP
effectively separates control from data, and allows routers to create
overlay networks. LISP-capable routers exchange encapsulated packets
according to EID-to-RLOC mappings stored in a local Map-Cache.
LISP requires no change to either host protocol stacks or to underlay
routers and offers Traffic Engineering, multihoming and mobility,
among other features.
Status of This Memo
