"LISP for Multicast Environments", Dino Farinacci, Dave Meyer, John Zwiebel, Stig Venaas, 28-May-09. ( bytes)

This draft describes how inter-domain multicast routing will function in an environment where Locator/ID Separation is deployed using the LISP architecture.

"Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)", Dino Farinacci, Vince Fuller, Dave Meyer, Darrel Lewis, 27-Jul-09. ( bytes)

This draft describes a simple, incremental, network-based protocol to implement separation of Internet addresses into Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs) and Routing Locators (RLOCs). This mechanism requires no changes to host stacks and no major changes to existing database infrastructures. The proposed protocol can be implemented in a relatively small number of routers. This proposal was stimulated by the problem statement effort at the Amsterdam IAB Routing and Addressing Workshop (RAWS), which took place in October 2006.

"Interworking LISP with IPv4 and IPv6", Darrel Lewis, Dave Meyer, Dino Farinacci, Vince Fuller, 26-May-09. ( bytes)

This document describes techniques for allowing sites running the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP [LISP]) to interoperate with Internet sites not running LISP. A fundamental property of LISP- speaking sites is that they use Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs), rather than traditional IP addresses, in the source and destination fields of all traffic they emit or receive. While EIDs are syntactically identical to IP addresses, routes for them are not carried in the global routing system so an interoperability mechanism is needed for non-LISP-speaking sites to exchange traffic with LISP-speaking sites. This document introduces two such mechanisms: the first uses a new network element, the LISP Proxy Tunnel Router (PTR) (Section 5) to act as a intermediate LISP Ingress Tunnel Router (ITR) for non-LISP- speaking hosts while the second adds Network Address Translation (NAT) functionality to LISP Ingress and LISP Egress Tunnel Routers (xTRs) to substitute routable IP addresses for non-routable EIDs.

"LISP Alternative Topology (LISP+ALT)", Vince Fuller, Dino Farinacci, Dave Meyer, Darrel Lewis, 26-May-09. ( bytes)

This document describes a method of building an alternative, logical topology for managing Endpoint Identifier to Routing Locator mappings using the Locator/ID Separation Protocol. The logical network is built as an overlay on the public Internet using existing technologies and tools, specifically the Border Gateway Protocol and the Generic Routing Encapsulation. An important design goal for LISP+ALT is to allow for the relatively easy deployment of an efficient mapping system while minimizing changes to existing hardware and software.

"LISP Map Server", Vince Fuller, Dino Farinacci, 26-May-09. ( bytes)

This draft describes the LISP Map-Server (LISP-MS), a computing system which provides a simple LISP protocol interface as a "front end" to the Endpoint-ID (EID) to Routing Locator (RLOC) mapping database and associated virtual network of LISP protocol elements. The purpose of the Map-Server is to simplify the implementation and operation of LISP Ingress Tunnel Routers (ITRs) and Egress Tunnel Routers (ETRs), the devices that implement the "edge" of the LISP infrastructure and which connect directly to LISP-capable Internet end sites.
