Re: NAT patent

I don't see how the patent will help unless cisco uses it to prevent
more NATs from being manufactured (not likely!).  either the patent
is indefensible in which case it has no effect, or the NAT vendors
will have to give money to cisco but they won't stop making NATs.

so it's probably irrelevant.

OTOH, if I owned that patent, I'd put it to good use...
