RFC 8111, “Locator/ID Separation Protocol Delegated Database Tree”, is an Experimental document published in May 2017 by V. Fuller, D. Lewis, V. Ermagan, A. Jain, A. Smirnov. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes the Locator/ID Separation Protocol Delegated Database Tree (LISP-DDT), a hierarchical distributed database that embodies the delegation of authority to provide mappings from LISP Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs) to Routing Locators (RLOCs). It is a statically defined distribution of the EID namespace among a set of LISP-speaking servers called "DDT nodes". Each DDT node is configured as "authoritative" for one or more EID-prefixes, along with the set of RLOCs for Map-Servers or "child" DDT nodes to which more-specific EID-prefixes are delegated.
