The IESG has received a request from the Locator/ID Separation Protocol WG (lisp) to consider the following document: - 'LISP Alternative Topology (LISP+ALT)' <draft-ietf-lisp-alt-09.txt> as an Experimental RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-10-04. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes a simple distributed index system to be used by a Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Ingress Tunnel Router (ITR) or Map Resolver (MR) to find the Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) which holds the mapping information for a particular Endpoint Identifier (EID). The MR can then query that ETR to obtain the actual mapping information, which consists of a list of Routing Locators (RLOCs) for the EID. Termed the Alternative Logical Topology (ALT), the index is built as an overlay network on the public Internet using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and the Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE). Using these proven protocols, the ALT can be built and deployed relatively quickly without any changes to the existing routing infrastructure. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lisp-alt/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lisp-alt/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
