What comes to HIP and RRG, I do believe that HIP *could* help in solving the RRG problem. It *could* form a core for what people now call "Strategy B" solutions, and a HIP-proxy based solution *could* be deployed as a "Strategy A" solution. I don't know the details of LISP, but the recent discussion between Dino and me seem to indicate that HIP proxy and LISP xTRs are functionally close enough so that a HIP proxy could be "plugged in" to the LISP architecture, yielding a "Strategy A" HIP-based network-level solution that could eventually lead to full HIP deployment at all hosts, which *could* lead to an architecture where renumbering is never needed due to full transparent support of multiple IP addresses at all hosts.
And since I don't know the details of HIP-proxy, saying LISP and HIP- proxy are functionally equivalent only occurs at a conversational level. The devil is in the details of course.
