To do so, packets toward EIDs are encapsulated in packets with routing locators (RLOCs) to form dynamic tunnels. An Ingress Tunnel Router (ITR) that encapsulates EID packets determines tunnel endpoints via mappings that associate EIDs to RLOCs. Before encapsulating a packet, the ITR queries the mapping system to obtain the mapping associated to the EID of the packet it must encapsulate. Such mapping is cached by the ITR in its local EID-to-RLOC cache for any subsequent encapsulation for the same EID. LISP is scalable because the EID-to-RLOC cache of an ITR, which is initially empty, is populated progressively according to the traffic going through the ITR. However, after an ITR is restarted, e.g., for maintenance reason, its cache is empty which means that all packets that are re- routed to the freshly restarted ITR will cause cache misses and a potentially high loss rate. In this draft, we present mechanisms to reduce the negative impact on traffic caused by the restart of an ITR in a LISP network.}, }
