LISP Multicast

This chapter describes how to configure the Multicast functionality in Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)
architecture where the Multicast source and Multicast receivers can reside in separate LISP sites.
LISP introduced a mapping function from a site's Endpoint ID (EID) prefix to its associated Routing Locator
(RLOC). Unicast packets require the mapping of both the source and destination address. Multicast only
requires the source address to be mapped as the destination group address is not topology-dependent.
The implementation of Multicast LISP includes the following features:
• Building the multicast distribution tree across LISP sites.
• Forwarding multicast data packets from sources to receivers across LISP sites.
• Supporting different service models, including ASM (Any Source Multicast), and SSM (Source Specific
• Supporting different combinations of LISP and non-LISP capable source and receiver sites.
When the Multicast LISP feature is enabled, a new tunnel interface type called GLT (Generic Lisp Tunnel)
is created. The GLT is supported by Oracle Identity Manager APIs and only one GLT per Virtual Device
Context (VDC) is created.
Attention The LISP Multicast feature is not supported on the F3 series module.
