RFC 6833: Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Map-Server Interface

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 9301.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 9300 — The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP); RFC 9301 — Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Control Plane

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document describes the Mapping Service for the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP), implemented by two new types of LISP- speaking devices -- the LISP Map-Resolver and LISP Map-Server -- that provides a simplified "front end" for one or more Endpoint ID to Routing Locator mapping databases. By using this service interface and communicating with Map-Resolvers and Map-Servers, LISP Ingress Tunnel Routers and Egress Tunnel Routers 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 the bulk of LISP-speaking devices, reducing their implementation and operational complexity should also reduce the overall cost and effort of deploying LISP. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
