Roadmap

This is the LISPmob Open Roadmap for 2014, please feel free to express your opinion, suggestions at criticism at the mailing list ([email protected]).

Keeping up-to-date with recent IETF drafts/standards

Item	Description	Priority
Instance ID support	From RFC6830: “When multiple organizations inside of a LISP site are using private addresses [RFC1918] as EID-Prefixes, their address spaces MUST remain segregated due to possible address duplication. An Instance ID in the address encoding can aid in making the entire AFI-based address unique. See IANA Considerations (Section 14.2) for details on possible address encodings.”	TBD
LCAF support	LISP creates two separate namespaces, EIDs and RLOCs. To provide flexibility for several use-cases such namespaces can be expressed using a general syntax that supports geo-coordinates, names, etc. More details can be found at draft-ietf-lisp-lcaf	TBD
ITR+PITR persistent list	This list will be updated automatically and stored in a file. When LISPmob starts, SMR to all locators of this list. With this we can also remove the proxy-ITR list of the configuration file	TBD
Advanced reachability algorithms	Implement the reachability algorithms discussed in RFC6830	TBD

Infrastructure components

This items aims to enable innovation in the LISP infrastructure components by implementing functionalities within LISPmob that allow quick prototyping.

Item	Description	Priority
LISPmob API	Allow third-party software to control LISPmob (Map-Cache, multihoming, reachability, etc…) by means of an API	TBD
LISPmob in other platforms	Integrate LISPmob with other systems such as OpenVSwitch, OpenDayLight, etc..	TBD
RTR mode	Support Re-encapsulating Tunnel Router (RTR) mode as defined in draft-ermagan-lisp-nat-traversal	TBD

Instance ID support	D+C	Albert L.	Medium	Dic. 2013	TODO
Control interface selection	C		Medium	TBD	TODO
Geolocation support	D+C		Medium	TBD	TODO
Map versioning	D		Medium	TBD	TODO	xTR support for map versioning; Note: map versioning can solve the “when to stop sending SMR” problem
Documentation	U		Medium	TBD	TODO	Docbook → HTML
Binary package repositories	U		Medium	TBD	TODO	Create Ubuntu PPA, Gentoo ebuild overlay, etc.
LISP-SEC	D		Medium	TBD	TODO	Implement LISP-SEC http://tools.ietf.org/wg/lisp/draft-ietf-lisp-sec/
Control message rate limiting	C		Medium	TBD	TODO	ETR: Clock sweep procedure to time TTL on map replies
PETR discovery	C		Research	TBD	TODO	Develop a mechanism for the MN to dynamically discover and configure the PETR.
Privacy	C		Research	TBD	TODO	Develop mechanisms to better preserve MN privacy: more difficult to trace/record movements
IP sharing	C		Research	TBD	TODO	Develop mechanisms to support reusing IPv4 EIDs for mobile nodes, due to address scarcity
Fast handovers	C		Research	TBD	TODO
