Title : An Architectural Perspective on the LISP
Location-Identity Separation System

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.
This document gives additional architectural insight into LISP, and
considers a number of aspects of LISP from a high-level standpoint.
[NOTE: This is still a somewhat rough draft version; a few sections
at the end are just rough frameworks, but almost all the key
sections, and all the front part of the document, are here, and in
something like reasonably complete form.]
