Hi, all, this is a 'temporary' version for use at the interim WG meeting at
the end of this week. The intent is that 'shortly' thereafter, an updated
version will come out, which will include the changes made during the review
at the interim, and that will be the one I'd like to get comments on.

The version released as an ID does not have editorical comments turned on;
there is a version available online at:

  http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/tech/lisp/LISP_Intro_id2.txt

which does have them, for use by the detailed review at the interim WG
meeting.  (That is a permanent URL: the contents will not change as I work on
the document.)


Changes since the last version include:

- Adding a host of comments from various reviewers (thank you, all); in
  particular, a lot of confused usage of terminology (nodes, stacks, etc)
  in the "Overview" section has been (mostly) staightened out.
- In general, material past the existing RFC's has been split off into a new
  document, "Overview of On-Going Improvements to LISP", for a number of
  reasons.  For one, covering it just got to be too much (there are a whole
  raft of multicast things going on, for instance), and it was causing major 
  document bloat; for another, much of it is outside the current WG charter.
- Much of the material in the 'Background' section has been exiled to
  an Appendix, in order to more quickly get to LISP itself.
- Multicast support (6831 type) is now covered at some length (all the new
  multicast stuff has been moved to the 'Improvments' document.
- Coverage of experimental NAT work has been moved to an appendix; the new
  NAT support has been moved to the 'Improvements' document.
- The Glossary has been filled in.
- The first of two planned diagrams has been added.
- A brief History of the LISP project has been added as an Appendix.
- The description of ALT has been moved to an Appendix.


A big 'thank you' to all the reviewers so far; I felt that the document was
quite good back at the start of the process, but it's quite clear that the
current one is, with your help, considerably better than that, even.

  Noel
