Folks,

Thanks for the good dialog regarding "decoupling" and "isolation". So far, I 
glean the following from the email thread:

- LISP decouples the forwarding and control plane, so 
draft-ietf-lisp-introduction is correct
- LISP does not isolate the control plane from the forwarding plane, so RFC 
6830 is also correct

Because both statements are correct and architecturally significant, they 
*both* should appear in Section 2.1 of draft-ietf-lisp-introduction. Ideally, 
these two statements should be juxtaposed to one another in order to highlight 
the difference between "isolation" and "decoupling".

Each statement should include:
        1)  A title (i.e., Decoupled data and control-plane, Non-isolation 
between data and control plane)
        2)  A sentence or two explaining what it means to be decoupled or 
non-isolated
        3) A cost/benefit statement

                                                                                
      Ron
