Re: [lisp] Last Call: <draft-ietf-lisp-eid-block-03.txt> (LISP EID Block) to Informational RFC

Hi,

One thing we have to be very careful with here is that EIDs are not directly
allocated/assigned to end sites from this block. That will cause everyone to
independently find (different) PITRs for their space, which will make a mess
of the global IPv6 routing table...

Thanks,
Sander

I don't think that (by definition) there is any way to cleanly aggregate PI 
space.  Legacy advertisements are going to be done by their LISP provider and 
will have to match the endpoint's PI allocations.

Yeah, so RIR policy-making communities might want to allow for LISP-PA space 
for example. I don't think we can make assumptions about that here. The other 
side of this is then: why not use 'normal' address space? If it is going to be 
announced in the legacy global BGP table anyway by some LISP provider I can't 
see why an end-site would choose for the LISP block instead of the more 
flexible regular block (which can then also be used as EID space)...

Thanks,
Sander
