This document describes a network-layer-based protocol that enables
separation of IP addresses into two new numbering spaces: Endpoint
Identifiers (EIDs) and Routing Locators (RLOCs). No changes are
required to either host protocol stacks or to the "core" of the
Internet infrastructure. The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)
can be incrementally deployed, without a "flag day", and offers
Traffic Engineering, multihoming, and mobility benefits to early
adopters, even when there are relatively few LISP-capable sites.
Design and development of LISP was largely motivated by the problem
statement produced by the October 2006 IAB Routing and Addressing
Workshop. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
community.
This document is a product of the Locator/ID Separation Protocol Working Group of the IETF.
EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the
