LISP merely attempts to replace BGP routing table bloat with something a lot worse than that, that is, a lot more serious routing table bloat of its mapping system.
I'm guessing you're not a fan of LISP, but in it's defense I'd say the mapping system is akin to DNS - a scalable, distributed, reliable database mapping services to locations.
BGP certainly can't cope with unconstrained growth, we will need something better.
and by 'bgp' you mean 'the implementation(s) of BGP on platforms today' There's nothing inherent in BGP that would not work with an unconstrained growth of the routing table, right? You just need enough bandwidth and interrupts to deal with updates.
