Re: [lisp] draft-farinacci-lisp-crypto-01 - Call for WG Adoption

[Dino Farinacci <[e-mail]>]

Do you support the control-plane mechanisms in the draft?

The advantage of having more bits for encryption is that we can have more data-plane keys. With the current lisp-crypto proposal, we only have 3 keys-ids.

But I would use caution here, because the state of the art in data-plane encapsulations is all over the place. And while generalization is nice, it often isn't practical. And what results in the marketplace is a subset of options being delivered in a general design that brings you back to the same result of having a specific format that would need to change later.

However, there has been quite a lot of discussion in various WGs, including LISP, about the need for a more flexible overlay encapsulation. Besides support for data plane security, the requirements include capability to support non IP payloads, and to support metadata for various applications including service chaining  and policy tags.

I believe the same is true, to a lesser extent, even with SW implementations (at least those that deal with the encap in the kernel).
