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.

1. 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].

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.
