With regard to the generic LCAF, it seems that each usage would have to specify what it was actually going to use it for, but this would not be captured in the mapping system. This would seem to lead to the situation where one entity is looking things up with one purpose in mind, but finds mapping for some other purpose, which it can not support.

Yours,
Joel

Dear Dino, all,

Here are some ideas we have for new types of LCAFs.

First, we will like to see a 5-tuple LCAF to allow mapping lookups based
on flows. In the attached TXT there is a proposed format. It allows to
perform exact match flow lookups, as well as best match lookups using
port range and prefix mask length. The proposed 5-tuple LCAF is based on
current types 4 and 12, and can be a new type itself, or be merged with
those types.

Second, we find interesting to have a generic (self-defined) LCAF type.
A format like that will allow complex and/or experimental LISP
applications. We aim for a binary JSON-like format. This LCAF type
almost needs no definition, just a new LCAF type number and an agreement
on the binary specification to use. Personally, I like the Universal
Binary JSON Specification (http://ubjson.org/).

I would like to know what the WG thinks of these proposals.

Thanks,
Alberto
