LISP Delegate Database Tree (DDT)
Overview of DDT
LISP Delegated Database Tree (DDT) defines a large-scale distributed database of LISP Endpoint Identifier
(EID) space using a DDT node. A DDT node is configured to be authoritative for some specified portion of
an overall LISP EID space, as well as the set of more specific subprefixes that are delegated to other DDT
nodes. It is also configured with the set of more-specific sub-prefixes that are further delegated to other DDT
nodes. To delegate a sub-prefix, the "parent" DDT node is configured with the Routing Locators (RLOCs)
of each child DDT node that is authoritative for the sub-prefix. Each RLOC either points to a map server
(sometimes termed a "terminal DDT node") to which an egress tunnel routers (ETRs) registers that sub-prefix
or points to another.
