Is there a case in LISP that EID would be assigned to its interface rather
than to a node?

Somewhere, it is said that the behavior of network elements within a site
doesn't change, which is thought to be one of the major strong feature of
LISP. If that is the case, then the EID would be assigned to the interface
like with the current Internet.

Assuming you really meant the node, not the interface, which existing
mechanism would allow the mobility? OSPF or ISIS?

If you meant, in fact, the interface but not the node in your discussion of
the EID assignment, do you mean a MIP like mechanism would provide the
mobility within a site?

I cannot catch what you exactly mean here by 'injection'. Sorry...

Yes, no special mobility is provided by LISP itself...

So, in short, what mobility solution is provided by LISP in addition to the
existing mobility mechanisms?
