Michiel,

In general, the idea behind this draft is: LISP is inherently a well-suited
protocol to serve as a southbound SDN protocol, however there are a few
pieces missing. This draft tries to get together all these pieces and fill
the gaps.

I agree that maybe "SDN extensions" is too general, since the draft does
not cover (neither intent to) things such NB APIs for instance. My thoughts
are now into pointing clearly in the title the "southbound" nature of the
draft.

Actually we did present a prototype of some of these ideas to the SDNRG
with the title "LISPflow". However, as you point below, this draft is not
only extensions to support flows ;)

It's my pleasure! :)
