Hi Chris, Looking at netdev archives I see that Dave's response to the LISP patches from June 2014 was:
"Sorry, I'm not too thrilled about LISP and this patch in particular, from several different angles. And therefore I'm going to mark this patch deferred and not apply it at this time." It seems to the me that he didn't close the door on ever accepting LISP into the kernel! I am wondering if it is time to take another look at this, I am starting to see that there is some existing deployment of LISP. AFAICT, most of the concerns Dave had were along the lines of the infrastructure not the protocol. We might be able to address these now. For instance, one of the his questions is: "What is to keep one from having to service a full Map-Request --> Map-Reply cycle for every packet received?" This can be solved by judicious rate limiting, for instance the infrastructure I implemented to rate limit ILA resolver request could be applied here. Thanks, Tom
