Subject: IPR call for draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-p2p
RTGWG,
draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-p2p is currently an individual draft. Before conducting
a poll regarding working group adoption by RTGWG, I would like to get responses
from the authors and contributors regarding any IPR related to this draft.
First, there is some history associated with this draft that is useful to
document.
In June of 2015, draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-00 was published based on the use of
point-to-point BFD by VRRP.
In July of 2015, draft-mirsky-bfd-p2mp-vrrp-use-case-00 was published based on
the use of point-to-multipoint BFD by VRRP.
In October of 2015, after suggestions from the WG, the two drafts above were
merged into draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-02.
In January of 2016, the following IPR was disclosed related to
draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd.
https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2739/
draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-02 was the current version of draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd when
this IPR was disclosed.
In October of 2016, a WG adoption poll was conducted regarding
draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd.
There was not consensus to adopt the draft due to IPR concerns. See this email
for details.
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rtgwg/current/msg05729.html
In August of 2017, draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-p2p-00 was published.
In October of 2017, a new revision of draft-mirsky-bfd-p2mp-vrrp-use-case
(rev-01) was published.
In December of 2017 (yesterday to be precise), an minor update to
draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-p2p was published.
It is my understanding from discussions with the authors of these drafts, both
inside and outside of the RTGWG sessions at IETF100, that
draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-p2p was written with the goal of separating the content
of the merged draft back into two separate drafts in such a way that the IPR
disclosed in https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2739/ does not apply to
draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-p2p.
Having documented that history, I would now like to conduct the usual RTGWG
process regarding IPR, specifically for IPR related to
draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-p2p.

If you are listed as an author or contributor to draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-p2p,
please respond to this email stating whether or not you are aware of any IPR
that applies to draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-p2p. The response needs to be sent to the
RTGWG mailing list. The document will not advance to the next stage until a
response has been received from each author and each individual that has
contributed to the document.
Thanks,
Chris
