This thread has documented some of the reasons why the authors decided to develop DDT instead of re-using DNS (documented in LISP-TREE). In addition to these, the DDT authors felt that operational experience with LISP+ALT (which re-used BGP and GRE for distributing EID Prefixes) showed that re-using another protocol, while inheriting many useful features, also brought in many un-needed features which added bloat to the implementation and operational complexity to the network. <snip> > > If not .. if DDT approach can not be serviced by DNS architecture I think it > would be very useful to document why. Other mapping systems have been explored before with LISP, to various levels of maturity. (EMACS, CONS, etc). Its my understanding that the LISP-TREE draft will be updated to reflect the work done to date, which should include the limitations of this approach. > Also in the same time it would be great to announce plans for open source DDT > support ? All are welcome to contribute to the Open Source LISP (the scope of which includes the mapping system) effort. More information can be found at http://www.openlisp.org/).
