1. Introduction
The LISP architecture and protocols [RFC6830] introduces two new
numbering spaces, Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs) and Routing Locators
(RLOCs) which are intended to replace most use of IP addresses on the
Internet. To provide flexibility for current and future
applications, these values can be encoded in LISP control messages
using a general syntax that includes Address Family Identifier (AFI),
length, and value fields.
Currently defined AFIs include IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, which are
formatted according to code-points assigned in [AFI] as follows:
IPv4 Encoded Address:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = 1 | IPv4 Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| ... IPv4 Address |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
IPv6 Encoded Address:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = 2 | IPv6 Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| ... IPv6 Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| ... IPv6 Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| ... IPv6 Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| ... IPv6 Address |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
This document describes the currently-defined AFIs the LISP protocol
uses along with their encodings and introduces the LISP Canonical

Internet-Draft LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) May 2016
Address Format (LCAF) that can be used to define the LISP-specific
encodings for arbitrary AFI values.
2. Definition of Terms
Address Family Identifier (AFI): a term used to describe an address
encoding in a packet. An address family currently defined for
IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. See [AFI] and [RFC1700] for details. The
reserved AFI value of 0 is used in this specification to indicate
an unspecified encoded address where the the length of the address
is 0 bytes following the 16-bit AFI value of 0.
Unspecified Address Format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = 0 | <nothing follows AFI=0> |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Endpoint ID (EID): a 32-bit (for IPv4) or 128-bit (for IPv6) value
used in the source and destination address fields of the first
(most inner) LISP header of a packet. The host obtains a
destination EID the same way it obtains a destination address
today, for example through a DNS lookup or SIP exchange. The
source EID is obtained via existing mechanisms used to set a
host's "local" IP address. An EID is allocated to a host from an
EID-prefix block associated with the site where the host is
located. An EID can be used by a host to refer to other hosts.
Routing Locator (RLOC): the IPv4 or IPv6 address of an egress
tunnel router (ETR). It is the output of a EID-to-RLOC mapping
lookup. An EID maps to one or more RLOCs. Typically, RLOCs are
numbered from topologically aggregatable blocks that are assigned
to a site at each point to which it attaches to the global
Internet; where the topology is defined by the connectivity of
provider networks, RLOCs can be thought of as PA addresses.
Multiple RLOCs can be assigned to the same ETR device or to
multiple ETR devices at a site.
3. LISP Canonical Address Format Encodings
IANA has assigned AFI value 16387 (0x4003) to the LISP architecture
and protocols. This specification defines the encoding format of the
LISP Canonical Address (LCA). This section defines both experimental
types as well as types that reside in the registry that have
corresponding working group drafts. See IANA Considerations section
for a list of types that will reside in the LISP-LCAF Registry.
Farinacci, et al. Expires November 4, 2016 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) May 2016
The Address Family AFI definitions from [AFI] only allocate code-
points for the AFI value itself. The length of the address or entity
that follows is not defined and is implied based on conventional
experience. Where the LISP protocol uses LISP Canonical Addresses
specifically, the address length definitions will be in this
specification and take precedent over any other specification.
The first 6 bytes of an LISP Canonical Address are followed by a
variable length of fields:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Rsvd2 | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Rsvd1: this 8-bit field is reserved for future use and MUST be
transmitted as 0 and ignored on receipt.
Flags: this 8-bit field is for future definition and use. For now,
set to zero on transmission and ignored on receipt.
Type: this 8-bit field is specific to the LISP Canonical Address
formatted encodings, values are:
Type 0: Null Body Type
Type 1: AFI List Type
Type 2: Instance ID Type
Type 3: AS Number Type
Type 4: Application Data Type
Type 5: Geo Coordinates Type
Type 6: Opaque Key Type
Type 7: NAT-Traversal Type
Type 8: Nonce Locator Type
Type 9: Multicast Info Type
Type 10: Explicit Locator Path Type
Farinacci, et al. Expires November 4, 2016 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) May 2016
Type 11: Security Key Type
Type 12: Source/Dest Key Type
Type 13: Replication List Entry Type
Type 14: JSON Data Model Type
Type 15: Key/Value Address Pair Type
Type 16: Encapsulation Format Type
Rsvd2: this 8-bit field is reserved for future use and MUST be
transmitted as 0 and ignored on receipt.
Length: this 16-bit field is in units of bytes and covers all of the
LISP Canonical Address payload, starting and including the byte
after the Length field. So any LCAF encoded address will have a
minimum length of 8 bytes when the Length field is 0. The 8 bytes
include the AFI, Flags, Type, Reserved, and Length fields. When
the AFI is not next to encoded address in a control message, then
the encoded address will have a minimum length of 6 bytes when the
Length field is 0. The 6 bytes include the Flags, Type, Reserved,
and Length fields.
[RFC6830] states RLOC records are sorted when encoded in control
messages so the locator-set has consistent order across all xTRs for
a given EID. The sort order is based on sort-key {afi, RLOC-
address}. When an RLOC is LCAF encoded, the sort-key is {afi, LCAF-
Type, payload}. Therefore, when a locator-set has a mix of AFI
records and LCAF records, all LCAF records will appear after all the
AFI records.

4. LISP Canonical Address Applications
4.1. Segmentation using LISP
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.
Another use for the Instance ID LISP Canonical Address Format is when
creating multiple segmented VPNs inside of a LISP site where keeping
EID-prefix based subnets is desirable.
Instance ID LISP Canonical Address Format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type = 2 | IID mask-len | 4 + n |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Instance ID |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = x | Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
IID mask-len: if the AFI is set to 0, then this format is not
encoding an extended EID-prefix but rather an instance-ID range
where the 'IID mask-len' indicates the number of high-order bits
used in the Instance ID field for the range.
Length value n: length in bytes of the AFI address that follows the
Instance ID field including the AFI field itself.
Instance ID: the low-order 24-bits that can go into a LISP data
header when the I-bit is set. See [RFC6830] for details. The
reason for the length difference is so the maximum number of
instances supported per mapping system is 2^32 while conserving
space in the LISP data header. This comes at the expense of
limiting the maximum number of instances per xTR to 2^24. If an
xTR is configured with multiple instance-IDs where the value in
the high-order 8 bits are the same, then the low-order 24 bits
MUST be unique.
AFI = x: x can be any AFI value from [AFI].

Internet-Draft LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) May 2016
This LISP Canonical Address Type can be used to encode either EID or
RLOC addresses.
Usage: When used as a lookup key, the EID is regarded as a extended-
EID in the mapping system. And this encoding is used in EID records
in Map-Requests, Map-Replies, Map-Registers, and Map-Notify messages.
When LISP-DDT [LISP-DDT] is used as the mapping system mechanism,
extended EIDs are used in Map-Referral messages.
4.2. Carrying AS Numbers in the Mapping Database
When an AS number is stored in the LISP Mapping Database System for
either policy or documentation reasons, it can be encoded in a LISP
Canonical Address.
AS Number LISP Canonical Address Format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type = 3 | Rsvd2 | 4 + n |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AS Number |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = x | Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Farinacci, et al. Expires November 4, 2016 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) May 2016
Length value n: length in bytes of the AFI address that follows the
AS Number field including the AFI field itself.
AS Number: the 32-bit AS number of the autonomous system that has
been assigned either the EID or RLOC that follows.
AFI = x: x can be any AFI value from [AFI].
The AS Number Canonical Address Type can be used to encode either EID
or RLOC addresses. The former is used to describe the LISP-ALT AS
number the EID-prefix for the site is being carried for. The latter
is used to describe the AS that is carrying RLOC based prefixes in
the underlying routing system.
Usage: This encoding can be used in EID or RLOC records in Map-
Requests, Map-Replies, Map-Registers, and Map-Notify messages. When
LISP-DDT [LISP-DDT] is used as the mapping system mechanism, extended
EIDs are used in Map-Referral messages.
4.3. Assigning Geo Coordinates to Locator Addresses
If an ETR desires to send a Map-Reply describing the Geo Coordinates
for each locator in its locator-set, it can use the Geo Coordinate
Type to convey physical location information.
Coordinates are specified using the WGS-84 (World Geodetic System)
reference coordinate system [WGS-84].

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Length value n: length in bytes of the AFI address that follows the
8-byte Longitude and Latitude fields including the AFI field
itself.
N: When set to 1 means North, otherwise South.
Latitude Degrees: Valid values range from 0 to 90 degrees above or
below the equator (northern or southern hemisphere, respectively).
Latitude Minutes: Valid values range from 0 to 59.
Latitude Seconds: Valid values range from 0 to 59.
E: When set to 1 means East, otherwise West.
Longitude Degrees: Value values are from 0 to 180 degrees right or
left of the Prime Meridian.
Longitude Minutes: Valid values range from 0 to 59.
Longitude Seconds: Valid values range from 0 to 59.
Altitude: Height relative to sea level in meters. This is a signed
integer meaning that the altitude could be below sea level. A
value of 0x7fffffff indicates no Altitude value is encoded.
AFI = x: x can be any AFI value from [AFI].
The Geo Coordinates Canonical Address Type can be used to encode
either EID or RLOC addresses. When used for EID encodings, you can

determine the physical location of an EID along with the topological
location by observing the locator-set.
Usage: This encoding can be used in EID or RLOC records in Map-
Requests, Map-Replies, Map-Registers, and Map-Notify messages. When
LISP-DDT [LISP-DDT] is used as the mapping system mechanism, extended
EIDs are used in Map-Referral messages.

4.4. NAT Traversal Scenarios
When a LISP system is conveying global address and mapped port
information when traversing through a NAT device, the NAT-Traversal
LCAF Type is used. See [LISP-NATT] for details.
NAT-Traversal Canonical Address Format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type = 7 | Rsvd2 | 4 + n |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| MS UDP Port Number | ETR UDP Port Number |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = x | Global ETR RLOC Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = x | MS RLOC Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = x | Private ETR RLOC Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = x | RTR RLOC Address 1 ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = x | RTR RLOC Address k ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Length value n: length in bytes of the AFI addresses that follows
the UDP Port Number field including the AFI fields themselves.
MS UDP Port Number: this is the UDP port number of the Map-Server
and is set to 4342.
ETR UDP Port Number: this is the port number returned to a LISP
system which was copied from the source port from a packet that
has flowed through a NAT device.
AFI = x: x can be any AFI value from [AFI].
Global ETR RLOC Address: this is an address known to be globally
unique built by NAT-traversal functionality in a LISP router.
MS RLOC Address: this is the address of the Map-Server used in the
destination RLOC of a packet that has flowed through a NAT device.
Farinacci, et al. Expires November 4, 2016 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) May 2016
Private ETR RLOC Address: this is an address known to be a private
address inserted in this LCAF format by a LISP router that resides
on the private side of a NAT device.
RTR RLOC Address: this is an encapsulation address used by an ITR or
PITR which resides behind a NAT device. This address is known to
have state in a NAT device so packets can flow from it to the LISP
ETR behind the NAT. There can be one or more NTR addresses
supplied in these set of fields. The number of NTRs encoded is
determined by the LCAF length field. When there are no NTRs
supplied, the NTR fields can be omitted and reflected by the LCAF
length field or an AFI of 0 can be used to indicate zero NTRs
encoded.
Usage: This encoding can be used in Info-Request and Info-Reply
messages. The mapping system does not store this information. The
information is used by an xTR and Map-Server to convey private and
public address information when traversing NAT and firewall devices.

4.5. Multicast Group Membership Information
Multicast group information can be published in the mapping database
so a lookup on an EID based group address can return a replication
list of group addresses or a unicast addresses for single replication
or multiple head-end replications. The intent of this type of
unicast replication is to deliver packets to multiple ETRs at
receiver LISP multicast sites. The locator-set encoding for this EID
record type can be a list of ETRs when they each register with "Merge
Semantics". The encoding can be a typical AFI encoded locator
address. When an RTR list is being registered (with multiple levels
according to [LISP-RE]), the Replication List Entry LCAF type is used
for locator encoding.
This LCAF encoding can be used to send broadcast packets to all
members of a subnet when each EIDs are away from their home subnet
location.
Multicast Info Canonical Address Format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| AFI = x | Group Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Length value n: length in bytes of fields that follow.
Reserved: must be set to zero and ignore on receipt.
Instance ID: the low-order 24-bits that can go into a LISP data
header when the I-bit is set. See [RFC6830] for details. The use
of the Instance-ID in this LCAF type is to associate a multicast
forwarding entry for a given VPN. The instance-ID describes the

AFI = x: x can be any AFI value from [AFI]. When a specific AFI has
its own encoding of a multicast address, this field must be either
a group address or a broadcast address.
Usage: This encoding can be used in EID records in Map-Requests, Map-

Length value n: length in bytes of fields that follow.
Lookup bit (L): this is the Lookup bit used to indicate to the user
of the ELP to not use this address for encapsulation but to look
it up in the mapping database system to obtain an encapsulating
RLOC address.
RLOC-Probe bit (P): this is the RLOC-probe bit which means the
Reencap Hop allows RLOC-probe messages to be sent to it. When the
R-bit is set to 0, RLOC-probes must not be sent. When a Reencap
Hop is an anycast address then multiple physical Reencap Hops are
using the same RLOC address. In this case, RLOC-probes are not
needed because when the closest RLOC address is not reachable
another RLOC address can reachable.
Strict bit (S): this the strict bit which means the associated
Rencap Hop is required to be used. If this bit is 0, the
reencapsulator can skip this Reencap Hop and go to the next one in
the list.
AFI = x: x can be any AFI value from [AFI]. When a specific AFI has
its own encoding of a multicast address, this field must be either
a group address or a broadcast address.
Usage: This encoding can be used in RLOC records in Map-Requests,
Map-Replies, Map-Registers, and Map-Notify messages. This encoding
not need to be understood by the mapping system for mapping database
lookups since this LCAF type is not a lookup key.

Length value n: length in bytes of fields that start with the Key
Material field.
Key Count: the Key Count field declares the number of Key sections
included in this LCAF.
Key Algorithm: the Algorithm field identifies the key's
cryptographic algorithm and specifies the format of the Public Key
field.
R bit: this is the revoke bit and, if set, it specifies that this
Key is being Revoked.
Key Length: this field determines the length in bytes of the Key
Material field.
Key Material: the Key Material field stores the key material. The
format of the key material stored depends on the Key Algorithm

LISP-DDT [LISP-DDT] is used as the mapping system mechanism, extended
EIDs are used in Map-Referral messages.
4.8. Source/Destination 2-Tuple Lookups
When both a source and destination address of a flow needs
consideration for different locator-sets, this 2-tuple key is used in
EID fields in LISP control messages. When the Source/Dest key is
registered to the mapping database, it can be encoded as a source-
prefix and destination-prefix. When the Source/Dest is used as a key
for a mapping database lookup the source and destination come from a
data packet.

4.9. Replication List Entries for Multicast Forwarding
The Replication List Entry LCAF type is an encoding for a locator
being used for unicast replication according to the specification in
[LISP-RE]. This locator encoding is pointed to by a Multicast Info
LCAF Type and is registered by Re-encapsulating Tunnel Routers (RTRs)
that are participating in an overlay distribution tree. Each RTR
will register its locator address and its configured level in the
distribution tree.
Replication List Entry Address Format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = x | RTR/ETR #n ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Length value n: length in bytes of fields that follow.
Rsvd{1,2,3,4}: must be set to zero and ignore on receipt.
Level Value: this value is associated with the level within the
overlay distribution tree hierarchy where the RTR resides. The
level numbers are ordered from lowest value being close to the ITR
(meaning that ITRs replicate to level-0 RTRs) and higher levels
are further downstream on the distribution tree closer to ETRs of
multicast receiver sites.
AFI = x: x can be any AFI value from [AFI]. A specific AFI has its
own encoding of either a unicast or multicast locator address.
All RTR/ETR entries for the same level should be combined together
by a Map-Server to avoid searching through the entire multi-level
list of locator entries in a Map-Reply message.
Usage: This encoding can be used in RLOC records in Map-Requests,
Map-Replies, Map-Registers, and Map-Notify messages.

4.10. Applications for AFI List Type
4.10.1. Binding IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses
When header translation between IPv4 and IPv6 is desirable a LISP
Canonical Address can use the AFI List Type to carry multiple AFIs in
one LCAF AFI.
Address Binding LISP Canonical Address Format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| ... IPv6 Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| ... IPv6 Address |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Length: length in bytes is fixed at 24 when IPv4 and IPv6 AFI
encoded addresses are used.
This type of address format can be included in a Map-Request when the
address is being used as an EID, but the Mapping Database System
lookup destination can use only the IPv4 address. This is so a
Mapping Database Service Transport System, such as LISP-ALT
[RFC6836], can use the Map-Request destination address to route the
control message to the desired LISP site.
Usage: This encoding can be used in EID or RLOC records in Map-
Requests, Map-Replies, Map-Registers, and Map-Notify messages. See
subsections in this section for specific use cases.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Length: length in bytes is fixed at 8 when MAC address AFI encoded
addresses are used.
This address format can be used to connect layer-2 domains together
using LISP over an IPv4 or IPv6 core network to create a layer-2 VPN.
In this use-case, a MAC address is being used as an EID, and the
locator-set that this EID maps to can be an IPv4 or IPv6 RLOCs, or
even another MAC address being used as an RLOC.

4.10.4. Using Recursive LISP Canonical Address Encodings
When any combination of above is desirable, the AFI List Type value
can be used to carry within the LCAF AFI another LCAF AFI.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Length: length in bytes is fixed at 18 when an AFI=1 IPv4 address is
included.
This format could be used by a Mapping Database Transport System,
such as LISP-ALT [RFC6836], where the AFI=1 IPv4 address is used as
an EID and placed in the Map-Request destination address by the
sending LISP system. The ALT system can deliver the Map-Request to
the LISP destination site independent of the Application Data Type
AFI payload values. When this AFI is processed by the destination
LISP site, it can return different locator-sets based on the type of
application or level of service that is being requested.

4.10.5. Compatibility Mode Use Case
A LISP system should use the AFI List Type format when sending to
LISP systems that do not support a particular LCAF Type used to
encode locators. This allows the receiving system to be able to
parse a locator address for encapsulation purposes. The list of AFIs
in an AFI List LCAF Type has no semantic ordering and a receiver
should parse each AFI element no matter what the ordering.

If a system does not recognized the Geo Coordinate LCAF Type that is
accompanying a locator address, an encoder can include the Geo
Coordinate LCAF Type embedded in a AFI List LCAF Type where the AFI
in the Geo Coordinate LCAF is set to 0 and the AFI encoded next in
the list is encoded with a valid AFI value to identify the locator
address.
A LISP system is required to support the AFI List LCAF Type to use
this procedure. It would skip over 10 bytes of the Geo Coordinate
LCAF Type to get to the locator address encoding (an IPv4 locator
address). A LISP system that does support the Geo Coordinate LCAF
Type can support parsing the locator address within the Geo
Coordinate LCAF encoding or in the locator encoding that follows in
the AFI List LCAF.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = x | Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Length value n: length in bytes of the AFI address that follows the
8-byte Application Data fields including the AFI field itself.
IP TOS, IPv6 TC, or Flow Label: this field stores the 8-bit IPv4 TOS
field used in an IPv4 header, the 8-bit IPv6 Traffic Class or Flow
Label used in an IPv6 header.
Local Port/Remote Port Ranges: these fields are from the TCP, UDP,
or SCTP transport header. A range can be specified by using a
lower value and an upper value. When a single port is encoded,
the lower and upper value fields are the same.
AFI = x: x can be any AFI value from [AFI].
The Application Data Canonical Address Type is used for an EID
encoding when an ITR wants a locator-set for a specific application.
When used for an RLOC encoding, the ETR is supplying a locator-set
for each specific application is has been configured to advertise.
Usage: This encoding can be used in EID records in Map-Requests, Map-
Replies, Map-Registers, and Map-Notify messages. When LISP-DDT
[LISP-DDT] is used as the mapping system mechanism, extended EIDs are

used in Map-Referral messages. This LCAF type is used as a lookup
key to the mapping system that can return a longest-match or exact-
match entry.
5.2. Generic Database Mapping Lookups
When the LISP Mapping Database system holds information accessed by a
generic formatted key (where the key is not the usual IPv4 or IPv6
address), an opaque key may be desirable.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Length value n: length in bytes of the type's payload. The value n
is the number of bytes that follow this Length field.
Farinacci, et al. Expires November 4, 2016 [Page 27]
Internet-Draft LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) May 2016
Key Field Num: the number of fields (minus 1) the key can be broken
up into. The width of the fields are fixed length. So for a key
size of 8 bytes, with a Key Field Num of 4 allows 4 fields of 2
bytes in length. Valid values for this field range from 0 to 15
supporting a maximum of 16 field separations.
Key Wildcard Fields: describes which fields in the key are not used
as part of the key lookup. This wildcard encoding is a bitfield.
Each bit is a don't-care bit for a corresponding field in the key.
Bit 0 (the low-order bit) in this bitfield corresponds the first
field, right-justified in the key, bit 1 the second field, and so
on. When a bit is set in the bitfield it is a don't-care bit and
should not be considered as part of the database lookup. When the
entire 16-bits is set to 0, then all bits of the key are used for
the database lookup.
Key: the variable length key used to do a LISP Database Mapping
lookup. The length of the key is the value n (shown above) minus
3.
Usage: This is an experimental type where the usage has not been
defined yet.

JSON length: length in octets of the following 'JSON binary/text
encoding' field.
JSON binary/text encoding field: a variable length field that
contains either binary or text encodings.
AFI = x: x can be any AFI value from [AFI]. A specific AFI has its
own encoding of either a unicast or multicast locator address.
All RTR/ETR entries for the same level should be combined together

5.5. Encoding Key/Value Address Pairs
The Key/Value pair is for example useful for attaching attributes to
other elements of LISP packets, such as EIDs or RLOCs. When
attaching attributes to EIDs or RLOCs, it's necessary to distinguish
between the element that should be used as EID or RLOC, and hence as
key for lookups, and additional attributes. This is especially the
case when the difference cannot be determined from the types of the
elements, such as when two IP addresses are being used.
Key/Value Pair Address Format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

Address as Key: this AFI encoded address will be attached with the
attributes encoded in "Address as Value" which follows this field.
Address as Value: this AFI encoded address will be the attribute
address that goes along with "Address as Key" which precedes this
field.
Usage: This is an experimental type where the usage has not been
defined yet.

5.6. Multiple Data-Planes
Overlays are becoming popular in many parts of the network which have
created an explosion of data-plane encapsulation headers. Since the
LISP mapping system can hold many types of address formats, it can
represent the encapsulation format supported by an RLOC as well.
When an encapsulator receives a Map-Reply with an Encapsulation
Format LCAF Type encoded in an RLOC-record, it can select an
encapsulation format, that it can support, from any of the
encapsulation protocols which have the bit set to 1 in this LCAF
type.
Encapsulation Format Address Format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| AFI = x | Address ... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Rsvd1/Rsvd2: must be set to zero and ignored on receipt.
Length value n: length in bytes of the AFI address that follows the
next 32-bits including the AFI field itself.
Reserved-for-Future-Encapsulations: must be set to zero and ignored
on receipt. This field will get bits allocated to future
encapsulations, as they are created.
L: The RLOCs listed in the AFI encoded addresses in the next longword
can accept layer3 LISP encapsulation using destination UDP port
4341 [RFC6830].
l: The RLOCs listed in the AFI encoded addresses in the next longword
can accept layer2 LISP encapsulation using destination UDP port
8472 [L2-LISP].
V: The RLOCs listed in the AFI encoded addresses in the next longword
can accept VXLAN encapsulation using destination UDP port 4789
[RFC7348].

6. Security Considerations
There are no security considerations for this specification. The
security considerations are documented for the protocols that use
LISP Canonical Addressing. Refer to the those relevant
specifications.
The use of the Geo-Coordinates LCAF Type may raise physical privacy
issues. It can be up to the mapping system, based on policy
parameters, when this LCAF type is returned to a Map-Requester.
7. IANA Considerations
This document defines a canonical address format encoding used in
LISP control messages and in the encoding of lookup keys for the LISP
Mapping Database System. Such address format is based on a fixed AFI
(16387) and a LISP LCAF Type field.
The LISP LCAF Type field is an 8-bit field specific to the LISP
Canonical Address formatted encodings, for which IANA is to create
and maintain a new registry (as outlined in [RFC5226]) entitled "LISP
LCAF Type". Initial values for the LISP LCAF Type registry are given
below. Future assignments are to be made through expert review with
a specification required publication. Assignments consist of a LISP
LCAF Type name and its associated value:
