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

Hi Adrian,

This is mostly an update to a previous disclosure where some of the patent
applications have now been granted and the patent application numbers have
been replaced with the patent numbers. The terms of this disclosure is
IDENTICAL to the previous disclosure.

However, there seems to be one additional patent application added to the
list. The previous list included five patents and the new list has six. It
seems like this sixth one was not disclosed by mistake as Cisco IP
department was notified of this application related to this IETF draft by
Cisco co-authors over a year ago. I believe at the end of the day, I am
responsible for it and I should have double checked but it was an honest
mistake and as noted there the terms of this disclosure remains identical
to the previous one.

Regards,
Ali
