I didn't see an answer to this question (which is not at all LISP-specific -
rather, it's a general observation about the allocation of overhead costs in
a network). Why should site B, which _never_ talks to X, have to pay, so that
site A can talk to X?

???? Each vendor will have its own answer to this question, but the LISP
software suites I know of are new loads for existing router hardware. Do you
know of a LISP package which only comes with new hardware?
