[Syslog] syslog-protocol

Hi all, Chris helped me brush up the ID, which I really appreciate. I am about to publish a new version soon. There is one thing that Chris recommended: --- I'd like to suggest that Section 6.2.1.1 (Relation to Alarm MIB) be dropped from this document. We discussed the request for this relatio

Hi all, I agree with Anton on all important issues. I've read the IPR claim and what disturbs me the most is "unpublished pending patent application". This sounds like someone took what we have been discussing (and is widely deployed), brought it to a lawyer and is now trying to make some patent o

I don't agree with putting all work on hold. Syslog-protocol and syslog-transport-udp still make sense to standardize. And we could explore syslog-transport-ssh, possibly soliciting input from IPR holders first. Thanks, Anton. > -Original Message- > From: Balazs Scheidler [mailto:[

Is the expectation that all 3 (protocol, transport-udp and transport-secure) MUST be delivered together or none at all? Can't we do the first two first while accommodating pluggable transports as we did? Then, figure out the secure one. By that time the claims of the pending unpublished patent

Hi, I am staying out of the debate, but I can answer Balzs's question based on my experiences. In the US patent system, it takes on the order of three to five years for a patent to be granted. I believe the applicant is permitted to not disclose the claims for eighteen months. But I am not a law

I'd vote to go forward with publication to standard to bring this out into the open. This is probably one the sillies patents out and just shows how fundamentally flawed the system really is. -- Darren J Moffat ___ Syslog mailing list Syslog@lists.i

Anton, I see your point. But remember that the IESG forced us to provide a secure transport, which IMHO will be the most-violated part of syslog-protocol once it is a RFC (meaning that -prototocol and -transport-udp will be implemented but not -tls). SSH still seems to be not a good option in my p

First, have you looked at the updated IPR disclosure? You can work on udp and -protocol, and you can even update your milestones to reflect that. You can get as far as sending me a publication request for these documents. However I will not take the documents to the IESG without a security solut

Hi, I have been told that Huawei patents date back no longer than 2001. This seems to confirm it: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=2&u =%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=0&f=S&l=50&d=PG01&s1=HUAWEI&Page =Next&OS=HUAWEI&RS=HUAWEI Also, David said "I believ
