Hi Richard
  
Thank you for your comment.
  
The ideas problem statement is introducing a new Network Mapping Systems (NMS) 
in order to have an efficient interoperable solution between ID based 
protocols. 

The LISP mapping system's main functionality is to provide the mapping of 
ID/LOC in LISP.
However, the NMS goal is to have a common control plane for multiple 
data-planes rather than one mapping system or scheme per protocol.

We also are building the NMS to cater for a wide variety of fixed and mobility 
cases including IoT, IP mobility and mobility over heterogeneous access 
networks. The Network mapping systems may also have different scopes (local, 
regional or global) and be private or public as well.

The expectations is that the NMS will be a powerful extensible infrastructure 
usable by all and not restricted to specific use cases.

LISP is a solution. The draft is a requirements document. We need to generate 
requirements to decide if the LISP solution meets them.

It might sound backwards, but that is how it works out chronologically.
