LISP Network, The

In an era of ubiquitous clouds, virtualization, mobility, and the Internet of Things, information and resources must be accessible anytime, from anywhere. Connectivity to devices and workloads must be seamless even when people move: location must be fully independent of device identity.

The LISP protocol makes all this possible. LISP is address-family agnostic, so it can encapsulate any protocol within another, and route across virtually any network. LISP applications include very-large-scale virtualization for WANs and multi-tenant data centers; host mobility and location services across data centers; advanced mobile networks; ad-hoc networks; IPv6 enablement, seamless site multi-homing; workload mobility; cellular mobility; multicast and traffic engineering, and more.
