Abstract:
A method, system, and computer readable medium is disclosed which utilizes the LISP control plane to increase communications and access to enterprise resources in a network with multiple subnetworks, such as a university setting. As a result, the various embodiments of the present invention provide a routing and services dimension to enterprise discovery protocol traffic, such as Apple Bonjour traffic. A LISP instance ID, which is carried in the LISP header, is used to associate one or more end user devices with specific enterprise resources in a particular subnetwork or a service domain, wherein these resources may be accessed by the end user device even if the end user device migrates to another subnetwork. Another embodiment of the invention limits routing services advertisements from enterprise services to a subset of end user devices associated with particular user EIDs by using L2-LISP multicast techniques.
