Correct answer: RLOC, EID.
Why this is the answer
LISP (Locator/ID Separation Protocol) uses two primary namespaces: the Endpoint Identifier (EID) and the Routing Locator (RLOC). The EID is an address that identifies an endpoint device, such as a host or server, and is independent of its location in the network. The RLOC is an address that identifies a routing device (e.g., a router) in the underlay network, indicating where the EID is currently attached. This separation allows for network mobility and simplified routing by decoupling identity from location. TLOC (Transport Locator) is a concept used in SD-WAN, not LISP. DNS is a naming service, not a LISP namespace. VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint) is a component of VXLAN, not LISP.
