Every host I'm aware of has a facility for setting up an interface

We call "LISP tunnels" as "dynamic encapsulating tunnels" where an
implementation must not implement the tunnel as a logical interface.
The implementation cannot scale if it does this. You get the level
of indirection by doing another lookup in another data structure
called the "map-cache".
I don't think I understand this...
Why couldn't LISP be implemented as a logical interface that
encapsulates or not based on the contents of the LISP Mapping cache
and the results of mapping lookups?
