Locator/ID Separation Protocol Delegated Database Tree (LISP-DDT)
Abstract
This document describes the Locator/ID Separation Protocol Delegated
Database Tree (LISP-DDT), a hierarchical distributed database that
embodies the delegation of authority to provide mappings from LISP
Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs) to Routing Locators (RLOCs). It is a
statically defined distribution of the EID namespace among a set of
LISP-speaking servers called "DDT nodes". Each DDT node is
configured as "authoritative" for one or more EID-prefixes, along
with the set of RLOCs for Map-Servers or "child" DDT nodes to which
more-specific EID-prefixes are delegated.
Status of This Memo
This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is
