Abstract

During the last years, some operators have expressed concerns about the continued growth of the BGP routing tables in the default-free zone. Several proposed solutions for this issue are centered around the idea of separating the network node's identifier from its topological location. Among the existing proposals, the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) has seen important development and implementation effort. LISP relies on a mapping system to provide bindings between locators and identifiers. The mapping system is a critical protocol component, and its design is still an open issue. In this paper we present a new mapping system: LISP-TREE. It is based on DNS and has a similar hierarchical topology: blocks of identifiers are assigned to the levels of the hierarchy by following the current IP address allocation policies. We also present measurement-driven simulations of mapping systems' performance, assuming a deployment of LISP in the current Internet.
