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
published for examination, experimental implementation, and
evaluation.
This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
community. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF
community. It has received public review and has been approved for
publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Not
all documents approved by the IESG are a candidate for any level of
