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.
