Hi, Thx for your comments. Private walled garden creates lots of interoperabilty issues. In the long term with deployments in the field, even after the expiry of patents we end up for a workable solution to carry unnecessary burden. e.g. I 'GUESS' pains of htonl etc are due to patents. IMHO we need to free human brain & cpu for more important issues. It is not fair for people who work on unpatented baselines specifications. What would have been situation if IP header was patented? Thx Samir
