-Python implementation of LISP (Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol)
\ No newline at end of file
+This package provides an implementation of LISP, the Locator/ID
+Separation Protocol in Python. This is an experimental protocol
+where the IP addresses on the network define the identity of
+the systems and a separate mapping system determines how the
+data is routed to that network.
+
+This library provides the means to parse and create LISP data
+and control messages, as well as command line tools to perform
+actions like asking a map resolver for a mapping and directly
+querying a DDT node.
+
+The intention is that in a later stage implementations for a
+map server, map resolver and DDT node will also be provided.
