Hi, LISP provides a rather complete and powerful control-plane, where by means of LCAF, possibly any existing namespace can be mapped on each other. However, the data-plane is not as flexible. The current specifications allow only IPv4 over IPv6 and vice versa.
In order to create what Sharon Barakai defined “map assisted overlays” more work is needed. In this context the WG should also decide whether just an extended/enhanced data-plane is sufficient/needed. Or should the scope be slightly larger and allow as well to support multiple headers type? Such header are not necessarily defined by the LISP WG (e.g. VXLAN-GPE, GENEVE, GUE, etc.) Would the WG be interested in working in extending the LISP overlay model in order to provide data-plane support for what the control plane already allows? And what should be the scope? Joel & Luigi _______________________________________________ lisp mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lisp
