The IESG has approved the following document: - 'An Architectural Introduction to the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)' (draft-ietf-lisp-introduction-13.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Locator/ID Separation Protocol Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Brian Haberman, Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lisp-introduction/ Technical Summary: The document provides an introductionary overview of the the architecture of the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP). The aim of this document is to ease the reading of the complete LISP specifications. Working Group Summary: The document received a strong support from the WG from the very beginning, when was an individual submission. An intermin meeting has been organized in 2013 in order to make progress on the document, which however was growing large. Due to the lack of the activity of the original author, two new editors have been appointed by the WG chairs. Since then, the document has progressed rapidly and has been wrapped up in few months, thanks to the large support and contribution of the WG. Document Quality: Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type review, on what date was the request posted? The document does not define any new protocol or mechanism, hence no special review is needed. Its informational content is well written and of a high standard. Personnel: Who is the Document Shepherd? Luigi Iannone <ggx@gigix.net> Who is the Responsible Area Director? Brian Haberman <brian@innovationslab.net>
