Re: [lisp] [Ila] LISP for ILA - scaling

["Joel M. Halpern" <[e-mail]>]

 From the analysis Eliot did many years ago for a LISP push solution, 
for any constrained solution (a data center, a mobile operator, a fixed 
service operator) the number of entries is probably not a problem.  Even 
for a conventional router.  Churn rate, in its various manifestations, 
could well be an issue.

Sharding is but one of several ways to divide and conquer to avoid those 
issues.  Separating control load from data plane load is also a useful 
way to help keep things manageable.

Yours,
Joel
