Dear Authors, WG Chairs, et. al,
I've read the draft and think that it addresses practical scenario, offers
viable solution and expresses it all in well-written form. Hence I support
its adoption by SFC WG.
But I find the draft to be in quite unusual, at least in my experience at
IETF, situation in regard to IPR disclosures. It has two disclosures
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/search/?submit=draft&id=draft-kumar-sfc-offloads>
with different licencing clauses:

   - a covenant not to assert or royalty bearing licensee;
   - RAND with possible royalty/fee to implementers.

I'm not, by far, an IPR expert but, as I recall, IETF is striving to
advance solutions that do not bear imposition of royalty fee on an
implementer. I think that it would be helpful to get clarification, expert
opinion perhaps, on relationship of both IPR claims and the solution
defined in the draft.

Regards,
Greg
