Agreed. This is a common misconception; LISP and ‘recursive routers’ (which is 
what I’ve called them for two decades) hide routing from the core by pushing 
the work to the edge of an enterprise (in an unscalable manner). But they have 
no impact on how enterprises interconnect.

So, to me at least, they ARE part of the Internet architecture, but don’t 
replace the need for backbone routing. They just isolate it from pockets under 
a single enterprise’s control.
