Abstract:
The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) is a map-and-encap
mechanism to enable the communication between hosts identified with
their Endpoint IDentifier (EID) over the Internet where EIDs are not
routable. 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.
