Given that LISP ITRs work by intercepting packets that are not addressed to them, a host implementation would need to be able to intercept packets "in the stack". That is going to need some ability to modify kernel behavior.

(Yes, I think we will see LISP enabled hosts. I don't think mobility is the only case where this will happen. But it will mean someone has modified the kernel to do so.)

The spec says ETRs MUST ignore the UDP checksum field. This is what the LISP authors intended and has been implemented this way.

The spec says ITRs MUST set the UDP checksum field to 0.

Could you tell us how to achieve this on commonly deployed desktop software/hardware that has two properties:

We don't want this rule on commonly deployed desktop hosts.

I am not sure what you are saying here. I can think of two possibilities:

(1) You don't want LISP to be implemented on commonly deployed desktop hosts.

Right, it is a network based solution.

(2) You want to change the document to state a different rule, so that LISP can be implemented in a compliant manner on desktop hosts.

That is not what I am suggesting.

Could you elaborate?
