Hello, after listening to the IETF69 audio stream on http://limestone.uoregon.edu/ftp/pub/videolab/media/ietf69/ietf69-ch7-thurs-am.mp3, I realised that there still a few unanswered questions from back then, and I'd like to pick at least one of them up right now: Glen mentioned, around audio mark 2:22:xy, that he knows that a big international roaming consortium exists which is running RADIUS over TCP, and possibly TLS, and that they might have patents on it. Now, since I am not very much into the commercial telco market, I have no clue who this consortium is and find out about their patent status. So, could someone (Glen?) name that consortium? It would also be nice if I could get some pointers on where to find out about their patents. Even though I realise that finding patents is not exactly easy - I've been hunting for a copy of Nokia's AU patent on Diameter and it is a pain. I tend to think that some patents are not meant to be found - until their holder can use them to bash other people ;-) Greetings, Stefan Winter -- Stefan WINTER Stiftung RESTENA - Réseau Téléinformatique de l'Education Nationale et de la Recherche Ingenieur Forschung & Entwicklung 6, rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi L-1359 Luxembourg E-Mail: stefan.winter@restena.lu Tel.: +352 424409-1 http://www.restena.lu Fax: +352 422473
