Re: patent question

[Greg Finn <finn@ISI.EDU>]

Patents are often issued that are in error.  Does it fall afoul of
prior art?  What is the date on the patent?

IP/SCSI was prototyped and published pre-IETF years ago.  Talk to
Rodney Van Meter regarding dates.

If the patent is more general than just IP, then other link-layer
protocol work encoding SCSI would equally apply as prior art.  For
those dates talk to others on this list.
