I'm rusty on LISP, but I believe it was designed to solve the DFZ
problem itself, while SCTP and Multipath TCP solve issues such as being
able to change the layer3 address on an existing connection (supporting
rapid renumbering and multipath failover/loadbalancing utilizing
multiple layer 3 addresses (1 per path).
In an ideal world, we'd be using both.
