LISP (Locator/ID Separation Protocol) is a networking protocol that separates the device identity from its location in order to improve scalability and mobility in the network.
LISP Definition: LISP (Locator/ID Separation Protocol) is a networking protocol that separates the device identity from its location in order to improve scalability and mobility in the network.
LISP stands for Locator/ID Separation Protocol. It is a network protocol that separates the location and identity of network devices. By doing so, LISP helps improve routing scalability and security by reducing the size of routing tables and providing better control over IP address allocations. LISP accomplishes this by introducing two namespaces: Endpoint ID (EID) and Routing Locator (RLOC). EIDs are used to identify end-hosts, while RLOCs are used to locate those hosts in the network.
