LISP

I don't believe it is part of the CCNP yet, but cisco is pushing LISP and it could show up in the future. LISP (Locator ID Separation Protocol) is an open standard created by cisco. It attempts to reduce complexity and simplify Routing over the internet.

LISP separates the routing locator from the endpoint identifier into two numbering spaces. Primarily, this means routers will have far smaller routing tables if the routing table only has to hold the route portion of addresses. The host portion of the address is encapsulated inside the route headed packet. This is also intended to make multi-homing far easier, aimed at medium to small sized businesses. Multi-homing is "load leveling" between separate ISPs.

LISP works between LISP and non LISP networks, LISP IPv4 to IPv6, and two LISP IPv6 sites can communicate overtop of an IPv4 ISP network between them (or IPv4 to IPv4 over a fully IPv6 network).
