Right, the LISP mobile node implements a simple version of  an ITR and  
ETR and acts like an entire LISP site. So all the  multi-homing  
features are available to the mobile-node.

And  when it roams, /32 host routes are not injected into the  
underlying  routing system.

The Map-Server is  where the roaming LISP mobile-node registers to when  
its locators  change. That *could* be viewed as a home-agent, but  
packets don't  flow through the Map-Server like they would for a MIP  
home  agent.

The stretch from LISP MN to LISP-site CN is 1. Which means  the  
shortest path between the two locators is taken.

You want to route based on topological closeness and not  geographical.  
But more to the point you want to forward packets on a  path that has  
less total queuing in each hop. That is reduce the  number of hops.
I want to do next hop forwarding based on knowing the internet's topology,  
however well reduced so that  links between far remote nodes aren't  
contained - but certainly links from some node inside my own geo-patch (or  
inside 
my nearby geo-path cluster) to some node at the other half of the globe.  
If, by DNS, users are assigned their DFZ-routers' geographical coordinates, 
then  that DFZ-router or any other one which however is closest to it (and 
which has  been determined to show up e.g. in the world map )  would be taken 
as the  destination node towards which a route can be computed and the 
respective first  hop taken.  
 
There are many many more routes than just shortest routes which are  
loop-free (and even more than that, e.g. crankback routes whereby endless  
looping 
can be avoided certainly).
I could even envision time-of-day routing !!! 
It could be a new dawn in routing technology i.e. the work base  for 
generations of IETF-goers to come.

Are you saying locator  addresses are always geographical? And if so,  
if a node roams where  its location changes geographically, does the  
address change? And is  this address stored for end-point socket state?
