Abstract

This document describes a network-layer-based protocol that enablesseparation of IP addresses into two new numbering spaces: EndpointIdentifiers (EIDs) and Routing Locators (RLOCs). No changes arerequired to either host protocol stacks or to the "core" of theInternet infrastructure. The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)can be incrementally deployed, without a "flag day", and offersTraffic Engineering, multihoming, and mobility benefits to earlyadopters, even when there are relatively few LISP-capable sites.

Design and development of LISP was largely motivated by the problemstatement produced by the October 2006 IAB Routing and AddressingWorkshop. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internetcommunity.
