## AI overview

This opinion examines whether LISP handles campus mobility better than EVPN. It argues that the LISP-versus-EVPN scaling debate can become irrelevant when the switch CPU-to-ASIC bus is the bottleneck, and questions claims that EVPN cannot handle the churn associated with wireless endpoint roaming. It also discusses possible latency spikes after MAC move events.

## Source excerpt

I decided not to get involved in the EVPN-versus-LISP debates anymore; I'd written everything I had to say about LISP. However, I still get annoyed when experienced networking engineers fall for marketing gimmicks disguised as technical arguments. Here's a recent one: Read more ...
