Re: [RRG] Tunnel fragmentation/reassembly for RRG map-and-encaps architectures



Since the control plane memory does not seem to be a bottleneck,
why do we need caches in the control plane ?

The control plane memory could be a bottleneck and lack capacity for 10^9 entries. But granted, the LISP-ALT database (extended to carry mapping entries which it does not do now) could be stored in control- plane memory only and if you were doing software switching you could use this larger database for forwarding and not a cache.
