Even if the authentication session generates a session key for DHCP, I don't think this IPR gets in the way. We had published an I-D that generates DHCP keys from EAP, and that predates the aforementioned IPR. As the initiator of that work I can say my employer at that time did not file any IPR on it, and I'm not aware of any claimed IPRs on it either. http://www.watersprings.org/pub/id/draft-tschofenig-pana-bootstrap-rfc3118-0 0.txt Alper _______________________________________________ Int-area mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/int-area
