Fyi this draft factors out just the notion of portable EID queues and channels for the edge.

This can be used to simplify the specification of Edge IOT applications, where LISP is used for distributed computing Traffic Steering.

Portable Sockets work like cloud streams in a sense that these are decoupled communication objects, Unicast EIDs are used to aggregate p2p mp2p uploads, and Multicast EIDs are used to push p2mp mp2mp notifications. 

Unlike Streams they are geared to fragmented edge and low-latency kernel vs cloud shared storage shared spine-fabric based streams.

The backdrop is industry considering 2 categories of edge traffic steering approaches:

(1) Off-Path: DNS lookup and HTTP redirect
(2) On-Path: Underlay Dynacast, Overlay LISP

On-Path has considerable, latency and service continuity advantages over Off-Path,
As well as coherency, or how many elements cache which mappings where.

On-Path Overlay has considerable advantage over Underlay in terms of mapping logic complexity and awareness in the network. Overlay responds to addressing locations which respond to complex dev-ops logic which is Not in-network (but may be influenced by network measurements among many other things).

Happy to hear thoughts and interest level.

For further reading please refer to a paper presented in last IETF side-meeting.

Abstract:
 This document describes the interfaces and functionality of portable
 socket objects, allocated and delegated using eBPF like Unix stacks,
 across edge compute locations, per Unicast and Multicast Endpoint
 Identifiers (EID). Each socket is used either as a queue, aggregating
 upstream point to point and multipoint to point application frames,
 or as a channel, transmitting point to multipoint and multipoint to
 multipoint application frames. Portability of Unicast queue sockets
 and Multicast channel sockets, as well as packet replication, is
 achieved using the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP).
