LISP -  innovative & borderless mobility

 

Cisco is developing a new, innovative routing architecture, which helps with the separation of the host addressing from the actual location. Within multiple RFCs the new architecture of LISP (Locator/ID Separation Protocol) was documented and discussed in the IEFT. Beside countless other functions, (like IP address portability or large scale VPN),  LISP will allow the following functionality for mobile communication:

 

- simultaneous load balancing and multihoming for ingress and egress communication with different media (WLAN, Edge, UMTS, LTE) 


- IPv6 mobility - keep IPv6 address even with roaming and connecting over IPv4 networks

 

The presentation will explain the basics of LISP and will discuss the opportunities for LISP with mobile communications in both Enterprise and Service Provider networks. A special focus will be given to VM Mobility for Datacenter. The presenter will also show the latest borderless network use cases from the airline and automotive industries (LISP Mobile Node). He will also demonstrate the actual LISP implementation on an Android mobile device.
