LISP Mapping Versioning

IETF Draft · 2010

Abstract

This document describes the LISP Map-Versioning mechanism, which provides in-packet information about EID-to-RLOC mappings used to encapsulate LISP data packets. The proposed approach is based on associating a version number to EID-to-RLOC mappings and transport such a version number in the LISP specific header of LISP- encapsulated packets. LISP Map-Versioning is particularly useful to inform communicating xTRs about modifications of the mappings used to encapsulate packets. The mechanism is transparent to legacy implementations, since in the LISP-specific header and in the Map Records, bits used for Map-Versioning can be safely ignored by xTRs that do not support the mechanism.
