Dear OpenWrt Developers,

this is Vasileios Lakafosis, who, as a member of the Cisco Locator/ID
Separation Protocol team <http://lisp.cisco.com/> at San Jose, has ported
the LISP functionality to OpenWrt. As per the LISP IETF
drafts<http://tools.ietf.org/wg/lisp/>,
the following source code adds basic LISP xTR (Ingress and Egress Tunnel
Router) functionality to OpenWrt-enabled routers providing the OpenWrt users
with a way to access and try out the LISP Beta
Network<http://www.lisp4.net/beta-network/> and
allowing them to benefit from everything LISP can offer, namely IP
portability when changing providers, multi-homing across different
providers, simple ingress traffic engineering without BGP and, soon, rapid
IPv6 transition.

Enabling LISP into OpenWrt requires the addition of essentially three new
packages; the user space executable "lispd" (lisp_0.1-1_ar71xx.ipk) and the
loadable kernel modules "lisp.ko" (kmod-lisp_mod_2.6.32.27+0.1-1_ar71xx.ipk)
and "lisp_int.ko" (kmod-lisp_int_2.6.32.27+0.1-1_ar71xx.ipk). That being
said and given that no other pre-existing source code has been modified, you
can download the patch file as well as the '.config' (reflecting the package
dependency requirements compared to the original .config) from
here<http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1995269/all_lisp_changes.patch.tar.gz>
.

A zipped folder that contains the whole source code of the four packages
(the fourth, namely lispconf, being an extra utility to check the lisp map
cache) can be downloaded from
here<http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1995269/LISP-OpenWrt-source_packages.tar.gz>
.

Tested on Backfire branch at SVN revision #28461 for target system ->
Atheros AR71xx and for target profile -> WRT160NL (cross-compiled with
toolchain-mips_r2_gcc-4.3.3+cs_uClibc-0.9.30.1). The corresponding
precompiled LISP (openwrt-lisp-ar71xx-wrt160nl-jffs2-factory.bin) image can
be downloaded from
here<http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1995269/openwrt-lisp-ar71xx-wrt160nl-jffs2-factory.bin>
.

Please let me know if there is any other information missing that I can
provide.


Thank you,
Vasileios Lakafosis
