LISP: Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol
IP protocol LISP is a protocol for the transmission of IP
packets.
IP address pair LISP uses IP address pairs:
• One IP address for identification, which is
called the EID (Endpoint Identifier). The
EID can be the IP address of a host or an
entire IP subnet.
• One IP address for the location, known as
the RLOC (Routing Locator). The RLOC is
the IP address of the LISP router.
Tunnel protocol LISP is a tunnel protocol.
A LISP packet consists of an internal IP packet
and an additional external header. The header
of the internal packet contains the EID; the ex-
ternal header contains the RLOC.
