Implementation of LISP evaluation tools

The locator/identifier separation protocol (LISP) is being considered in the Internet community as an evolutionary path towards future Internet. Routing scalability and enhanced traffic engineering capabilities beyond BGP are major highlights of the proposal. An implementation from Cisco systems is being tested in a global infrastructure named LISP+ALT, while an open source implementation, namely OpenLISP, is also being deployed. The main goal of our LISP implementation is to have a quick prototype development cycle, targeting real and simulated environments: the Linux operating system and the ns-3 network simulator. We seek to analyze LISP capabilities, with emphasis in the manageability of the protocol, noticing that there is no clear data and control plane separation in the specification.
