No wonder -- you are listed as the co-inventor!

Just the fact that it is patented (and the patent is still unexpired)
would make it a disfavored candidate for an Internet transition technology.

It was not nice of y'all to try to get a monopoly over nesting headers
for making an overlay network that tunnels things to distant routers.
You have to certify that your work is original in order to even apply
for a patent.  So, nobody had ever thought of that before y'all did?  Really?
