There is more to this than just the LISP-talking-to-non-LISP model.  The
goal is essentially to avoid a mapping lookup by having a globally
assigned blocks for EIDs.  It is an implementation optimization that
allows a LISP router to determine that a particular IPv6 address is (or
is not) reachable via LISP.
