[WG Chair Hat Off] Gabor (and Andras, and Alia and Chris): I don't know about any IPR . . . his draft is only describing algorithms. It's interesting to me that there are IPR disclosures (from both Ericsson and Juniper) attached to the architecture draft, but not to this draft. https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/search/?option=document_search&document_search=draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-architecture I would have thought that the IPR would be attached here (in the algorithm draft) since it provides the details of how the architecture can be implemented. Given the discussion (in the thread where I made some comments to the algorithm draft) about where the limits of the algorithm vs the profile are, and whether one is part of the other or not, it surprises me that no one has claimed any IPR on this draft: there seems to be significant leakage and overlap between what's in the architecture and how the algorithm operates. In my mind, that either means that the claims over the architecture are very narrow, or that something should be declared for the algorithm. It would be nice if you checked again about the overlap, or if you clarified what specifically is covered in the architecture draft. Of concern to me are the terms from Ericsson ("Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory License to All Implementers with Possible Royalty/Fee."). I realize that it is out of the scope of the WG to talk about the applicability of terms, but this is not the first time that this topic comes up; take a look at the minutes from IETF 82: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/82/minutes/rtgwg.txt Thanks! Alvaro.
