We have pushed an initial implementation to git-hub as open source.
This is in github.com/quantonium/ila. The starting point to work with
this is https://github.com/quantonium/ila/blob/master/README.install.

This implements ilad as an ILA control daemon following the design of
the idloc draft. The current version implements a mapping system
database using Redis and ILA routers. The forwarding cache and ILA
mapping protocol (ILAMP
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-ila-ilamp-00) are TBD. For
populating the cache, ILAMP proposes to use secure redirects which are
something of a hybrid of the push and pull models described in the
idlocd draft.

The repository includes tests to emulate a RAN network in a box and
show seamless device mobility. We are currently working on bringing
this us in real radio network. We can do a demo of ilad at a 5GangIP
side meeting. If you're interested in developing and working on ilad,
please let me know!
