Sounds alright, though I'm not a specialist in this. But I've heard the word 'patented' from someone from Juniper, this is why I used it. It's been a few years ago and I even went to the trouble of skimming through the US patent DB (very quickly). Found a bunch of Juniper's patents but none looking to be related to this. So if nobody can justify, let's consider it's a secret :) _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
