Locator ID Separation Protocol (LISP)

End Point Identifier (EID)

Are the current addresses assigned to end hosts today.

Routing Locators (RLOC)

Are the addresses assigned to routers that make up the global routing system

Ingress Tunnel Router (ITR)

An ITR is a LISP Site edge device that receives packets from site facing
interfaces (internal hosts) and encapsulates them to remote LISP sites, or
natively forwards them to non LISP sites.

Egress Tunnel Router (ETR)

An ETR is a LISP Site edge device that receives packets from core facing
Interfaces (Internet) and de-encapsulates LISP packets and delivers them
to local EIDs at the site.

Locator ID Separation Protocol (LISP)

Map Server (MS)

A MS is a device that ETRs register to with their EID prefixes. The MS advertises

aggregates for the registered EID prefixes into the LISP mapping system.

Map Resolver (MR)

A MR is a device that ITRs send LISP map request queries when resolving EID to

RLOC mappings.
