NERD: A Not-so-novel Endpoint ID to Routing Locator Database
RFC 6837, “NERD: A Not-so-novel Endpoint ID to Routing Locator Database”, is an Experimental document published in January 2013 by E. Lear. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) is a protocol to encapsulate IP packets in order to allow end sites to route to one another without injecting routes from one end of the Internet to another. This memo presents an experimental database and a discussion of methods to transport the mapping of Endpoint IDs (EIDs) to Routing Locators (RLOCs) to routers in a reliable, scalable, and secure manner. Our analysis concludes that transport of all EID-to- RLOC mappings scales well to at least 10^8 entries. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
