Locator/ID Separation Protocol Control Plane
RFC 9301, “Locator/ID Separation Protocol Control Plane”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2022 by D. Farinacci, F. Maino, V. Fuller, A. Cabellos. It obsoletes RFC 6830, RFC 6833. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the control plane and Mapping Service for the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP), implemented by two types of LISP-speaking devices -- the LISP Map-Resolver and LISP Map-Server -- that provide a simplified "front end" for one or more Endpoint IDs (EIDs) to Routing Locator mapping databases.
By using this control plane service interface and communicating with Map-Resolvers and Map-Servers, LISP Ingress Tunnel Routers (ITRs) and Egress Tunnel Routers (ETRs) are not dependent on the details of mapping database systems; this behavior facilitates modularity with different database designs. Since these devices implement the "edge" of the LISP control plane infrastructure, connecting EID addressable nodes of a LISP site, the implementation and operational complexity of the overall cost and effort of deploying LISP is reduced.
This document obsoletes RFCs 6830 and 6833.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
