So, lets dig into LISP Routing a little more. If you have not done so, I would recommend you read my first post, since I am not going to review the concepts here. In this post, I am going to break things down into three steps: 1) how packets are forwarded (i.e. the data plane operation), 2) how mapping information is propagated (i.e. control plane operation), and 3) how we internetwork with non-LISP locations.
For starters, lets head into the weeds and take a look at the LISP header format. In the last post, I mentioned there is some flexibility in how handles IP addressing. The two examples below show a couple of scenarios: pure IPv4 and a IPv4/IPv6 hybrid:
