Chapter 7. LISP and the Next-Generation Mobile Network

The endpoint densities, rates of mobility, network redundancy, and path requirements being driven by next-generation applications pose demanding requirements on the network. These requirements go beyond what can be addressed by simply optimizing the existing incumbent networking models. A shift toward overlays and overlay-optimized demand control planes is necessary to satisfy this next wave of requirements. This chapter discusses how LISP supports mobility and how these mechanisms adapt to different use cases that should illustrate the high bar that was set for the network to surmount.
