lispers.net

This directory contains the world's most feature-rich implementation of the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP).

Overview

Refer to docs/lisp-runs-on.pdf for a comprehensive list of LISP use-cases. The code in this git repo is an implementation of LISP in Python and Golang to run in a "routing-as-an-application" mode. LISP is an open, scalable overlay architecture and set of protocols developed by hundreds of people dating back to fall 2006.
