Hi Scott, |When a site network moves or merges it NEED NOT renumber -- |any increase |in state is restricted to the first level of the mapping system and is |quickly damped out. There isn't any increase in state at the sites |communicating with that site network either unless the network |fragments. The only thing that changes is the RLOCs.
Understood. However, what happens when a site changes mapping provider? My understanding is that the site must then change EIDs to the new provider's aggregate. This would seem to create a vendor lock for the mapping provider. |When a single device moves my personal opinion is that it should |renumber (although there are ways to make that unnecessary) ... |especially because LISP EIDs are not used as pure node identifiers, and |I would expect some other mechanism such as HIP to provide node |authentication e.g. for session continuity. | |Make sense? That makes sense to me, but I got the distinct impression that there would be some disagreement from others.
