(c) is clearly not fundemental to LISP.
What is fundemental (IMO) to any Loc/ID split
architecture is what have what we have termed the Locator
Path Liveness problem. How that problem is solved is a
matter for each architecture to consider.
In particular, probing is a solution to the Locator Path
Liveness problem, but as we know from shim6 (etc), the
complexity of that isn't pretty. But then either is the
O(n!) complexity of BGP path hunting. In any event, the
space of potential solutions for map-and-encap schemes
such as LISP (or eFIT, Ivip, etc) haven't been throughly
explored. This is part of the reason why we think LISP
should be EXPERIMENTAL.

With respect to LISP and probing, that statement is
incorrect.
