This document describes the control plane and Mapping Service for the
Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP), implemented by two types of
LISP-speaking devices -- the LISP Map-Resolver and LISP Map-Server --
that provide a simplified "front end" for one or more Endpoint IDs
(EIDs) to Routing Locator mapping databases.

By using this control plane service interface and communicating with
Map-Resolvers and Map-Servers, LISP Ingress Tunnel Routers (ITRs) and
Egress Tunnel Routers (ETRs) are not dependent on the details of
mapping database systems; this behavior facilitates modularity with
different database designs.  Since these devices implement the "edge"
of the LISP control plane infrastructure, connecting EID addressable
nodes of a LISP site, the implementation and operational complexity
of the overall cost and effort of deploying LISP is reduced.

This document obsoletes RFCs 6830 and 6833.

This document is a product of the Locator/ID Separation Protocol Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.
