Huston APNIC September 2016 Management Guidelines for the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Endpoint Identifier (EID) Block Abstract This document proposes a framework for the management of the Locator/ ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Endpoint Identifier (EID) address block. The framework described relies on hierarchical distribution of the address space, granting temporary usage of prefixes of such space to requesting organizations.

Introduction The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP [RFC6830]) and related mechanisms ([RFC6831], [RFC6832], [RFC6833], [RFC6834], [RFC6835], [RFC6836], [RFC6837]) separate the IP addressing space into two logical spaces, the Endpoint Identifier (EID) space and the Routing Locator (RLOC) space. The first space is used to identify communication endpoints, while the second is used to locate EIDs in the Internet routing infrastructure topology. [RFC7954] requests an IPv6 address block reservation exclusively for use as EID prefixes in the LISP experiment. The rationale, intent, size, and usage of the EID address block are described in [RFC7954]. Iannone, et al. Informational [Page 2] RFC 7955 LISP EID Block Management September 2016 This document proposes a management framework for the registration of EID prefixes from that block, allowing the requesting organization exclusive use of those EID prefixes limited to the duration of the LISP experiment. 2.
