Abstract

This document describes the Mapping Service for the Locator/IDSeparation Protocol (LISP), implemented by two new types of LISP-speaking devices -- the LISP Map-Resolver and LISP Map-Server -- thatprovides a simplified "front end" for one or more Endpoint ID toRouting Locator mapping databases.

By using this service interface and communicating with Map-Resolversand Map-Servers, LISP Ingress Tunnel Routers and Egress TunnelRouters are not dependent on the details of mapping database systems,which facilitates experimentation with different database designs.Since these devices implement the "edge" of the LISP infrastructure,connect directly to LISP-capable Internet end sites, and comprise thebulk of LISP-speaking devices, reducing their implementation andoperational complexity should also reduce the overall cost and effortof deploying LISP. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
