I hear you loud and clear. But we do the redirect model in LISP in many forms as well.

We did that in the ITR as well. A cache missed meant to send a Map-Request and to encapsulate the packet to a PETR (proxy decapsulator) where the PETR usually had a full cache (how it got populated could be with pull or push mechanisms).

But this results in duplicate packets going to the destination as well as out of order packets.

Yes, understand. But even in your constrained “domain”, there may be just too much state to push to all nodes. Especially in the 5G use-case. It wasn’t a problem in the LISP beta network because the proxy xTRs had relatively coarse prefixes that reached lots of EIDs.

Yes indeed.
