This email is regarding the statement of IPR submitted by Juniper regarding draft-ietf-pce-stateful-pce-03 and draft-crabbe-pce-stateful-pce-mpls-te-00. As most of you who have been tracking this work know, these two drafts together cover the functionality originally published as draft-crabbe-pce-stateful-pce-00. Due to an administrative error, the IPR statement was not submitted to the IETF in October 2011 at the time of the publication of version 00 of the draft, and this is being rectified by the IPR disclosure now. The problem happened due to an unfortunate combination of an administrative error and the changes of affiliation of the two original Juniper authors of draft-crabbe-pce-stateful-pce-00 shortly after the draft publication.
Because I was not one of the co-inventors nor a co-author until version 02, I did not track this. However, as a co-author on the stateful PCE work, I would like to apologize on behalf of Juniper and want to let you know that the company is taking steps to help prevent such an error from re-occurring.
