One aspect of network operations and management (O&M) that I am passionate about is automation (to be accurate, Orchestration; where different tools integrate and work together to deliver a common outcome; but will stick with the word “automation” here). There
LISP (Locator/ID Separation Protocol) Control Plane
In traditional routing protocols, the control plane facilitates the exchange of routing information between routers. This information is then used in the data plane to forward packets. LISP used a different architecture and mechanism in building the control plane; routers
Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Functional Components
Introduction: In our previous article in this series, we discussed what Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) is, the challenge(s) it solves, and the benefits it delivers. LISP leverages a number of functional components to make this all work. In this article,
Understanding LISP (Locator/ID Separation Protocol)
Introduction: In today’s ever-expanding network landscape, the need for scalability and mobility is paramount. Traditional routing protocols often struggle to meet these demands efficiently. Enter the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP), a network-layer-based protocol designed to optimize scalability while enhancing mobility.
