The Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP) was proposed by Dino Farinacci and others to improve the scalability of the Internet architecture. However, the potential benefits of LISP can be much broader than this.

In this project, we both participate in the development of LISP and its standardisation within the IETF and we develop extensions to LISP.
