Well, that's a pain in the neck! I'm not happy to see these
IPR disclosures come in so late in the process. PT-TLS is
already with the IESG and PT-EAP has passed two WGLCs and
is almost ready to go to the IESG. This IPR should have
been disclosed much earlier, if at all possible.

At this time, I would encourage nea participants to read
(or re-read) RFC 3979, which describes how we handle IPR
disclosures in IETF. Also read the IPR disclosures to see
what's included in the patents in question and what IPR
licensing terms are being offered.

I would ask Cisco to please provide a link to the actual
patent application (since I guess there is no patent yet
and I can't find the patent application) so that we can
see what technology is claimed to be covered.

Thanks,

Steve
