Dear Steve,

I've to apologize the late answer, but here it is:

Alcatel is not aware of any IPRs, for which a license would be required to
practice the technology disclosed in the referred IETF documents below, but
Alcatel didn't perform any IPR search. If Alcatel should keep any patents
or patent applications for which a license would required to practice the
technology disclosed in the referred IETF documents, Alcatel would be
prepared to grant a license under the conditions of Alcatel's general
License statement sent to the IETF and, which is available on
http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/ALCATEL-GENERAL. If there is a more detailed
particular question, please let me know.

If there are any IPR related questions with IETF, please don't hesitate to
contact me.

Best regards


Albin

We have been made aware of the following URL posted on an IEEE Web page:

http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2003/alcatel-letter.pdf

It has been suggested that Alcatel may consider they have IPR in
the areas of the following IETF documents:

If Alcatel feels it has relevant IPR, following the process defined
in RFC 2026 Section 10.3(C), I have been delegated to obtain
written assurance that upon approval by the IESG of the relevant
Internet standards track specification(s), any party will be able
to obtain the right to implement, use and distribute the technology
or works when implementing, using or distributing technology based
upon the specific specification(s) under openly specified,
reasonable, non-discriminatory terms.
