RE: IPR Disclosure: Cisco's Statement of IPR Related to draft-ietf-l2vpn-evpn-07

["Adrian Farrel" <[e-mail]>]

Hello working group,

This disclosure might be considered to have arrived late in the cycle since the I-D completed WG last call on 23rd May 2014.

There is at least come visible overlap with http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1910/ but I think there is also new IPR covered by this new disclosure.

We are, of course, always grateful to see IPR disclosures so that implementers know where they stand in advance of implementation, but it is worth noting that on or before 30th of May all of the authors explicitly declared that they knew of no undisclosed IPR, so if anyone has anything they want to say by way of explanation, now would be a good time.

I have neither the time nor the Internet access at the moment to research who is listed as inventors and who worked on this I-D, but since the I-D is still waiting for an update after AD review (42 days!) this affords the WG some time to look at the IPR and consider whether it changes the way the WG wants to proceed.

Thanks,
Adrian
