OpenLISP

Participant : Damien Saucez [correspondant] .

Among many options tackling the scalability issues of the current Internet routing architecture, the Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP) appears as a viable solution.  LISP improves a network's scalability, flexibility, and traffic engineering, enabling mobility with limited overhead.  As for any new technology, implementation and deployment are essential to gather and master the real benefits that it provides.  We propose a complete open source implementation of the LISP control plane.  Our implementation is deployed in the worldwide LISP Beta Network and the French LISP-Lab testbed, and includes the key standardized control plane features.  Our control plane software is the companion of the existing OpenLISP dataplane implementation, allowing the deployment of a fully functional open source LISP network compatible with any implementation respecting the standards.
