Abstract:
LISP upgrades the architecture of the IPvN internetworking system by
separating location and identity, current intermingled in IPvN
addresses. This is a change which has been identified by the IRTF as
a critically necessary evolutionary architectural step for the
Internet. In LISP, nodes have both a 'locator' (a name which says
_where_ in the network's connectivity structure the node is) and an
'identifier' (a name which serves only to provide a persistent handle
for the node). A node may have more than one locator, or its locator
may change over time (e.g. if the node is mobile), but it keeps the
same identifier.
One of the chief novelties of LISP, compared to other proposals for
the separation of location and identity, is its approach to deploying
this upgrade. In general, it is comparatively easy to conceive of
new network designs, but much harder to devise approaches which will
actually get deployed throughout the global network. LISP aims to
achieve the near-ubiquitous deployment necessary for maximum
exploitation of an architectural upgrade by i) minimizing the amount
of change needed (existing hosts and routers can operate unmodified);
and ii) by providing significant benefits to early adopters.
This document gives additional architectural insight into LISP, and
analyzes a number of aspects of LISP from a long-term perspective.
NOTE: This is an initial rough draft, a much better version will be
out shortly.
