Thanks for addressing these. But, I need to refresh my memory on this
draft. Also, some stuff may need revision once the framework is revised.


Which reminds me that the wglc has been running for the framework draft
since the last IETF (over two months). A revision based on the comments
already made on the draft is already overdue. Can we get a revised
version so that maybe we can eventually finalize all the work and other
drafts in fecframe?

Vincent,

Thanks for the detailed review. My responses are below. I will submit an -0=

How about: "The unit of source data provided as payload to the transport la=
yer"

The problem I see with your definition is that the boundary of "media deliv=
ery application" is not clear.

Suggestion: "An algorithm for encoding data such that the encoded data flow=
 is resiliant to data loss (Note: in general FEC Codes may also be used to =
make a data flow resiliant to corruption, but that is not considered here).=
"

I agree that there could be some confusion because for some codes the Sourc=
e Blocks from the point of view of the code are subsets of the Source Block=
 as defined here. My concern with changing the terminology is that this ter=
minology is used outside this document as well and I'm not confident we wil=
l be able to find all the occurrences which need updating and do that in a =
coordinated manner.

I think here we will just have to be careful when defining FEC Schemes to a=
void the term "Source Block" for the systematic part of a codeword when it =
does not coincide with the FECFRAME Source Block, or just be careful to def=
ine clearly.

Ok, I suggest the following minor rewording:

FEC Source Packet: At a sender (resp. receiver) a payload submitted to (res=
p. received from) the Transport protocol containing an ADU along with an op=
tional Source FEC Payload ID.

FEC Repair Packet: At a sender (resp. receiver) a payload submitted to (res=
p. received from) the Transport protocol containing one or more repair symb=
ols along with a Repair FEC Payload ID and possibly an RTP header.

Ok, and I will add a definition for ADU flow.

I think what is meant is better said as follows: "From the FEC Framework po=
int of view, RTP source flows are ADU flows like any other, with the RTP he=
ader included within the ADU".

Ok. I will replace "parity bytes" with "repair data"

I suggest adding the following: "FEC Schemes MAY define limitations on this=
 mapping, such as maximum size of source blocks, but SHOULD NOT attempt to =
define specific mappings."

What is stated is that the CDP or implementations are responsible for defin=
ing the mapping of ADUs to Source Blocks. This is as it should be since thi=
s mapping is very application-dependent and FEC Schemes are supposed as far=
 as possible to be application independent. But this is all recommendation =
strength, since FEC Schemes will vary in their generality and some might be=
 quite specific to particular applications.

Yes, it should be "repair RTP payloads", though unfortunately that will not=
 fit in the diagram. I hope "repair payloads" is sufficient.

Actually, Step 4 describes processing done by the FEC Scheme. Or do you mea=
n that the Framework and Scheme together perform these functions, rather th=
an forwarding received ADUs directly to the applications possibly out-of-or=
der ? I suggest adding "Note that the description above defines functionali=
ty responsibilities but does not imply a specific set of timing relationshi=
ps. For example, ADUs may eb provided to the application as soon as they ar=
e received or recovered (and hence potentially out-of-order) or they may be=
 buffered are delivered to the application in-order."

Well, this gets into implementation: the FEC Framework is not a software co=
mponent and implementations are possible where there is no component corres=
ponding to the FEC Framework itself (the functions would be integrated with=
 application packet handling. So I don't think it makes sense to talk about=
 packets being "kept in the FEC Framework" - we are just defining functiona=
l components here.

I don't think the description implies anything about buffering or where it =
takes place. It describes functions that are performed. Obviously you need =
input data for those functions, but whether and where that is stored is not=
 described (for example, there may be an implementation where the received =
source symbols can be processed as they arrive and only the result of some =
source symbol computations needs to be stored in order to make later use of=
 repair data).

I don't have an opinion, but I think this was discussed and we agreed to re=
commend RTP/RTCP. SHOULD is not really all that strong since the formal def=
inition is essentially "MUST unless you have a good reason" - so we are jus=
t saying don't use an alternative for no good reason.

Good point. I will replace "immediately followed by" with "followed (after =

Agreed. If we say "...how a receiver determines a minimum length of time ..=

Ok.

Agreed. I re-worded the sentence before the bullet list as "Each Source Blo=
ck provided to the FEC scheme consists of an ordered sequence of Applicatio=
n Data Units where the following information is provided for each ADU: " Th=
is way the FEC Scheme gets the ordering but we do not have to define any ki=
nd of specific index.

he end of the source packet, then it should be avoided.
>=20

I agree this should be mentioned, but I am not sure we can make a recommend=
ation at the level of the Framework. Backwards compatibility considerations=
 are highly application and even deployment-specific. Even where a well-kno=
wn existing protocol is being enhanced with FEC there may not be any equipm=
ent deployed in the target environment supporting the existing protocol and=
 so then backwards compatibility in that case is not a consideration. Exist=
ing protocols may also have other compatibility mechanisms (e.g. negotiatio=
n) which mean the Explicit Source FEC Payload ID could be used without brea=
king backwards compatibility. What I suggest to add is just the following:

"In many applications, support for Forward Error Correction is added to a p=
re-existing protocol and in this case use of the Explicit Source FEC Payloa=
d ID may break backwards compatibility, since source packets are modified."

This raises the issue in a suitably innocuous way and lets the reader decid=
e how important this point is to them.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the FEC Framework Working Group of the IETF.


	Title           : Forward Error Correction (FEC) Framework
	Author(s)       : M. Watson
	Filename        : draft-ietf-fecframe-framework-06.txt
	Pages           : 39
	Date            : 2010-03-05

This document describes a framework for using forward error
correction (FEC) codes with applications in public and private IP
networks to provide protection against packet loss.  The framework
supports applying Forward Error Correction to arbitrary packet flows
over unreliable transport and is primarily intended for real-time, or
streaming, media.  This framework can be used to define Content
Delivery Protocols that provide Forward Error Correction for
streaming media delivery or other packet flows.  Content Delivery
Protocols defined using this framework can support any FEC Scheme
(and associated FEC codes) which is compliant with various
requirements defined in this document.  Thus, Content Delivery
Protocols can be defined which are not specific to a particular FEC
Scheme and FEC Schemes can be defined which are not specific to a
particular Content Delivery Protocol.

All,

I received an offline comment on this draft which is that there is now a ne=
w version of the Raptor code, named RaptorQ, and it would be trivial to enh=
ance this FEC Schemes document to allow both the original Raptor (RFC5053) =
and RaptorQ (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rmt-bb-fec-raptorq-01) t=
o be used.

So unless there are objections, I propose to do that in the next revision.

Subject: New Version Notification for draft-peck-fecframe-rtp-mf-01 


A new version of I-D, draft-peck-fecframe-rtp-mf-01.txt has been successfuly submitted by Orly Peck and posted to the IETF repository.

Filename:	 draft-peck-fecframe-rtp-mf
Revision:	 01
Title:		 RTP Payload Format for Multi-Flow FEC
Creation_date:	 2010-03-07
WG ID:		 Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 16

Abstract:
This document defines a new RTP payload format for the Forward Error
Correction (FEC) that is used to protect multiple source flows.  The
format defined by this document enables the protection of multiple
media sources encapsulated in RTP with one or more repair flows and
is based on the FEC framework (described in [I-D.ietf-fecframe-
framework]) and the SDP Elements for FEC Framework (described in
[I-D.ietf-fecframe-sdp-elements]).

The one specified in the "rate" parameter, which as you point out is mandat=

It is not quite empty: the procedures and data formats for generating FEC r=
epair streams are fully defined by the combination of the FEC Framework and=
 an FEC Scheme of your choice. In this case we choose the Raptor FEC Scheme=
 and define how the repair data is carried over RTP. So there is very littl=
e to do in this document other than reference the FEC Framework, the Raptor=
 FEC Scheme and to state that the Repair Packet Payload defined in those do=
cuments becomes the RTP Payload when RTP is used for the repair flow.

I can add some text to clarify this point, but one thing I do not want to d=
o is duplicate specification material from the FEC Framework or Raptor FEC =
Schemes.

Ok, I will add the references to these documents. Actually in the Raptor FE=
CFRAME draft we do not identify any security considerations over and above =
those mentioned in the FEC Framework itself. That is, we do not see that th=
e choice of Raptor as an FEC code has any specific security issues which do=
 not apply to the use of FEC in general.

All,

In addressing comments on the Raptor FEC Schemes document I found there wer=
e some additional changes needed to the framework (specifically related to =
text encoding of the FEC Scheme-specific FEC Framework Configuration Inform=
ation).

So there is a -07 draft for the Framework now. Please ignore the -06.

...Mark

	Title           : Forward Error Correction (FEC) Framework
	Author(s)       : M. Watson

	Date            : 2010-03-07

This document describes a framework for using forward error
correction (FEC) codes with applications in public and private IP
networks to provide protection against packet loss.  The framework
supports applying Forward Error Correction to arbitrary packet flows
over unreliable transport and is primarily intended for real-time, or
streaming, media.  This framework can be used to define Content
Delivery Protocols that provide Forward Error Correction for
streaming media delivery or other packet flows.  Content Delivery
Protocols defined using this framework can support any FEC Scheme
(and associated FEC codes) which is compliant with various
requirements defined in this document.  Thus, Content Delivery
Protocols can be defined which are not specific to a particular FEC
Scheme and FEC Schemes can be defined which are not specific to a
particular Content Delivery Protocol.

This document describes Fully-Specified Forward Error Correction
(FEC) Schemes for the Raptor and RaptorQ codes and their application
to reliable delivery of media streams in the context of FEC
Framework.  The Raptor and RaptorQ codes are systematic codes, where
a number of repair symbols are generated from a set of source symbols
and sent in one or more repair flows in addition to the source
symbols that are sent to the receiver(s) within a source flow.  The
Raptor and RaptorQ codes offer close to optimal protection against
arbitrary packet losses at a low computational complexity.  Six FEC
Schemes are defined, two for protection of arbitrary packet flows,
two that are optimised for small source blocks and another two for
protection of a single flow that already contains a sequence number.
Repair data may be sent over arbitrary datagram transport (e.g.  UDP)
or using RTP.

This document specifies an RTP Payload Format for Forward Error
Correction repair data produced by the Raptor FEC Schemes.  Raptor
FEC Schemes are specified for use with the IETF FEC Framework which
supports transport of repair data over both UDP and RTP.  This
document specifies the Payload Format which is required for the use
of RTP to carry Raptor repair flows.

Title:		 RTP Payload Format for Reed Solomon FEC
Creation_date:	 2010-03-08
WG ID:		 Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 28

Abstract:
This document defines an RTP payload format for the Forward Error
Correction (FEC) that uses Reed-Solomon codes.  The format defined by
this document enables the protection of source media encapsulated in
RTP with one or more repair flows and is based on the FEC framework
(described in [I-D.ietf-fecframe-framework]) and the SDP Elements for
FEC Framework (described in [I-D.ietf-fecframe-sdp-elements]).  The
Reed-Solomon codes used in this document belong to the class of
Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes which means they offer optimal
protection against random and bursty packet losses.

Title:		 Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC) Schemes for FECFRAME
Creation_date:	 2010-03-08
WG ID:		 Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 20

Abstract:
This document describes two fully-specified FEC schemes for Reed-
Solomon codes that can be used to protect media streams along the
lines defined by the FECFRAME framework.  Reed-Solomon codes belong
to the class of Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes which means
they offer optimal protection against packet erasures.  They are also
systematic codes, which means that the source symbols are part of the
encoding symbols.  The price to pay is a limit on the maximum source
block size, on the maximum number of encoding symbols, and a
computational complexity higher than that of sparse parity check
based FEC codes.  However, this complexity remains compatible with
software codecs.

The first scheme is for Reed-Solomon codes over GF(2^^m), with m in
{2..16}, a simple FEC encoding and arbitrary packet flows.  The
second scheme is similar to the first scheme, with the exception that
it is for a single sequenced flow.

Hello Mike,

----
Hi Vincent,
Indeed, quite fresh news.  See United States Patent 7,660,245, which was 
issued on February 9, 2010.  Our IPR statements will be updated to 
reflect this at some point in the near future.
Best, Mike

Thanks a lot for having clarified this issue.
As you probably saw, we have updated our I-D in order to take
it into account. Could you please tell us if it solves the problem
according to you? Thanks!

Regards,


    Vincent, on behalf of the authors.

Concerning the IPR disclosure now...


Mike and Mark,

After looking at the disclosure, I see that the disclosure relates
to an "unpublished pending patent application".
Indeed, a search on various dedicated sites did not enable me to
retrieve any document.

Since I do want to understand your concern, could you please answer
to the following questions:

- Do I understand the situation correctly?

- Do you plan to provide the above document(s) to the fecframe WG
  or to the authors, even if they are not published?

- If not, do you plan to indicate which part(s) of our I-D is covered
  according to you, and why?

Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

   Vincent

Hello Everybody,


*FYI and in order to comply with RFC 3979's rules concerning IPR*

To the question of possible patents that could apply to the FECFRAME
framework, Mark Watson answered in a private email in March 2009 that
no patent from Qualcomm apply to the current draft-ietf-fecframe-framework.
So there's no problem.

However...

Let's imagine:
   - you want to protect source packets coming from a streaming application;
   - you create FEC source packets, as in FECFRAME;
   - you have a system that segments the various source packets into a
     *potentially different* number of source symbols (e.g. because source
     packets have significantly different sizes);
   - you perform FEC encoding from this source block and produce repair
     symbols;
   - and you generate one or more FEC repair packets from these repair
     symbols, as in FECFRAME;

... then you'd better have a look to Qualcomm's US Patent 7,660,245
(e.g. Claim 1):
     http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7660245.pdf

This patent has been published in February 2010 and was previously an
"unpublished pending patent", so I only discovered it after Mike's
clarification a few weeks ago.

With that in mind, if I read draft-ietf-fecframe-framework once again,
I now understand why Section 6.2. "Structure of the source block" does
not go into details. Admittedly the way the source block is created is FEC
Scheme specific (I fully agree), but it's clearly not the only reason.

Mike/Mark, is my understanding of the situation correct?


Regards,


     Vincent

Hi Vincent,
In the original individual submission of the FECFRAME framework document (d=
raft-watson-tsvwg-fec-sf-00) there was some Digital Fountain/Qualcomm IPR (=
and we declared this at the time).  As you might recall, there was pressure=
 in the FECFRAME group to remove known IPR from the FECFRAME framework docu=
ment, and to make the FECFRAME framework document more of a high level docu=
ment without FEC-scheme specific details.  When the FECFRAME framework docu=
ment was rewritten and submitted as a working group document, certain FEC-s=
cheme specific details were removed, some of which involved Digital Fountai=
n/Qualcomm IPR, one of which you have identified below, and as a consequenc=
e there is no longer any Digital Fountain/Qualcomm IPR that is or will be d=
eclared on the current FECFRAME framework document.
Regards, Mike

Hello Everybody,


*FYI and in order to comply with RFC 3979's rules concerning IPR*

To the question of possible patents that could apply to the FECFRAME
framework, Mark Watson answered in a private email in March 2009 that
no patent from Qualcomm apply to the current draft-ietf-fecframe-framework.
So there's no problem.

However...

Let's imagine:
   - you want to protect source packets coming from a streaming application=
;
   - you create FEC source packets, as in FECFRAME;
   - you have a system that segments the various source packets into a
     *potentially different* number of source symbols (e.g. because source
     packets have significantly different sizes);
   - you perform FEC encoding from this source block and produce repair
     symbols;
   - and you generate one or more FEC repair packets from these repair
     symbols, as in FECFRAME;

... then you'd better have a look to Qualcomm's US Patent 7,660,245
(e.g. Claim 1):
     http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7660245.pdf

This patent has been published in February 2010 and was previously an
"unpublished pending patent", so I only discovered it after Mike's
clarification a few weeks ago.

With that in mind, if I read draft-ietf-fecframe-framework once again,
I now understand why Section 6.2. "Structure of the source block" does
not go into details. Admittedly the way the source block is created is FEC
Scheme specific (I fully agree), but it's clearly not the only reason.

Mike/Mark, is my understanding of the situation correct?


Regards,


     Vincent

Please let me know if you see any important bits missing from the
minutes below before I post them.

Thanks!,

Agenda bashing:
Feedback needed on the framework draft. SDP elements will be last-called
again in fecframe and mmusic WGs.

Mark presenting his slides.

Framework: Going through the major changes. Addressed comments raised in
the list. Ready for a new WGLC?
Raptor: Added the support for the new RaptorQ.
RTP Payload Format for Raptor: Addressed comments raised in the mailing
list. It will be last called in avt and fecframe. The AD Magnus suggests
Mark to look at the RTP how-to document to put some text around the
security considerations.

Orly presenting her slides.

Multi-Flow FEC: Mike Luby asked about the potential waste of header bytes
for listing all the SSRCs. But, this proposal was not favored last time
due to the complexity it introduced. Orly is going through the concerns
raised in the last meeting by Colin P. and Ali B. Mike L. gave the
example from 3GPP called the MBMS spec that proposed a similar idea of
combining multiple source flows and protecting them with a single repair
flow. Mark W. asked for more descriptive text about how to generate the
source blocks.

RS Payload Format: Going through the changes. FEC header structure and
repair-window issues. Mark W. is asking for how this relates to the
other RS draft from Vincent. Mark W. also brought up the issue of using
a generic RTP payload format for different FEC schemes. But, that idea
was not favored by the AVT folks some time ago. And the folks in the
room vaguely remembered some issues related to RTCP reporting. The WG
should probably look into this discussion again.

The chair is trying to get yeah/nah for the drafts presented to become
WG items. The voting will continue in the list.

The chair is presenting the slides from Vincent and Rajiv. In Rajiv
slides, the question is about the selection of the announcement
intervals. And should that draft be informational or standards track?

Final deck from Roux. The Chair is going thru the slides mostly in a
silent mode. Results are shown but questions are welcome on the list.

Mike,

I discover that QC just updated its previous IPR disclosure
against our I-D in:    https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1288/

This disclosure refers to draft-roca-fecframe-rs-02, i.e. the
latest version where we tried to solve the potential IPR issue
as I explained to you in my previous emails (sent before the
IPR disclosure update):
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/fecframe/current/msg00636.html

So I take it as QC's official answer: the issue is not solved in
-02 version according to QC!


Since it seems I have no choice, let's put everything on the
table:

** Concerning US Patent 7,660,245:
This patent has three independent claims: 1, 16 and 18.
*All of them* are restricted to situations where different source
packets contribute to a different number of source symbols.
Unless we forgot something, we removed from our I-D all
references to this technique, which is sufficient to conclude that
version -02 cannot infringe US Patent 7,660,245.

** Concerning Patent 20100050057:
This patent has four independent claims: 1, 10, 16 and 24.
*All of them* are restricted to situations where different source
packets contribute to a different number of source symbols, so
my answer is exactly the same.


I'd like to understand. *I am doing significant efforts but
I now have the feeling this is not reciprocal.* What's wrong?
I need an answer.


Regards,

  Vincent

Hi Vincent, all,

I'm tempted to unsubscribe from the Fecframe mailing list after this post.

I'm not interested in reading a layman's interpretation of patent claims, or
their mapping against a draft.

I'm not interest in being advised of patent numbers other than those of my
employer.  I want to preserve my freedom of studying the IPR disclosures if
and when I choose, which may very well include "never".

I'm not interested in witnessing design-around attempts, even if they
include "significant efforts" of yours.

I'm certain I'm not alone in the above.

I would appreciate if you were showing just a bit more sensitivity towards
the practical needs of employees of large and small corporations.

Stephan

Hello Stephan and Mike,


I think your emails deserve an answer.
Generals considerations first, and then I'll focus on
the specific point under discussion.

-- 

I'm also fed up with all these IPR issues that oblige me to
leave my primary activities all too often. I'm researcher,
not an IPR lawyer and I have no natural inclination for
these legal aspects.

That being said, I also want my work to be useful to the
whole community (within or outside of the IETF, Nokia and
QC included). From this point of view, if there's an IPR
disclosure and if I have the feeling an alternative
solution exists, I'll examine it instead of "passively
accepting" the situation. In any case be assured my
behavior is only governed by the desire to be useful to
the community.

One big difference between you and me is the fact I don't
have any legal department in charge of examining IPR
aspects. If my documents are subject of a disclosure, I
can either ignore it (as many colleagues do) or tackle
its analysis. If I want to achieve my above goal of being
useful to the community, this second option is the only
possible.

Yes, I'd like we could all work just like 30-40 years ago,
when smart people were eager to design the best possible
Internet, using the best possible techniques, just because
it was the right answer to the situation. It's  worth
remembering this heritage. It's perhaps an utopia
today, however I'm doing my best to stick with this
philosophy since I currently have the freedom to do
that.

Finally, you can find many examples of WGs going into this
kind of discussion, e.g. in the informational RFC 3669
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc3669/).
A few excerpts of the lessons learned:

    o  IPR claims should never be disregarded without good cause.  Due
       diligence should be done to understand the consequences of each
       claim.
[...]
    o  It's sometimes beneficial to push IPR claimants to find out what
       they think their claims cover and what their licensing terms are.

    o  Possibilities of prior art should be considered.

    o  It's all right, and sometimes beneficial, to discuss IPR claims
       and gather information about possible prior art on the group list.
       The results of such discussion can be considered when deciding
       whether to develop a technology (but remember that neither the
       IETF nor any working group takes a stand on such claims as a body,
       and the group is not the best place to get legal advice).

The above sentences are not definite rules, of course, and
each situation is specific and needs to be handled
appropriately. However saying that "[the FECFRAME mailing
list] is not the forum to discuss specific IPR" is a
personal interpretation that is in-line with the IETF
practices.


-- 

Now, concerning the topic that triggered this discussion:

- I've updated the I-D and in theory it's sufficient for
   QC to be aware of our attempts to solve the problem;
- However I explicitly told Mike what we've done and
   asked him to clarify QC's position. No answer;
- I met Mike just before the fecframe meeting and asked
   again the same question. Unless I misunderstood what he
   said, I didn't get any answer;
- the situation was once again explained in my slides.
   I was not there unfortunately, but I didn't see
   anything in the Minutes;
- And then came this new IPR disclosure that completely
   ignores any effort I've made to try understand the
   situation and to solve it.

At this point, I'm now wondering if QC's strategy is not
to leave this point open until everybody forget? Anyway,
if QC does not want to answer, I want it to be clearly
stated and justified. How long it will take me to have
this clarification is not under my control.

I'm not responsible of the whole story. Especially as
last year I even made sure that there was no IPR issue
in FECFRAME. Now DF/QC chose the submarine patent
approach ("undisclosed pending patent") and to keep it
secret till it's granted, last month.  It's their right but me
and my co-authors are the victims in this story.


Last but not least...
In all my emails exchanges, I pay attention not to offend
anybody. I don't have the feeling that any email I sent
(including this one) was offending, but if somebody has a
different feeling, then I apologize since this was not my
goal.

Sorry for this very long email. I hope that you now better
understand my attitude. Stephan, if you are not interested
by my  IPR-related emails, which I can understand, then
please  ignore them.

And long life to the IETF that already enabled me to solve
similar issues, without having to waste time, energy and
money in a court, whereas a consensus was easily achievable
as long as both parties are working toward this goal. Last
Autumn discussion with Mike on the RMT mailing list proved
it's possible. Thanks!

Best regards,


     Vincent

    <br>
This disclosure refers to draft-roca-fecframe-rs-02, i.e. the<br>

as I explained to you in my previous emails (sent before the<br>
IPR disclosure update):<br>

Since it seems I have no choice, let's put everything on the<br>

** Concerning US Patent 7,660,245:<br>
This patent has three independent claims: 1, 16 and 18.<br>
*All of them* are restricted to situations where different source<br>
packets contribute to a different number of source symbols.<br>
Unless we forgot something, we removed from our I-D all<br>
references to this technique, which is sufficient to conclude that<br>
version -02 cannot infringe US Patent 7,660,245.<br>
    <br>
** Concerning Patent 20100050057:<br>
This patent has four independent claims: 1, 10, 16 and 24.<br>
*All of them* are restricted to situations where different source<br>
packets contribute to a different number of source symbols, so<br>
my answer is exactly the same.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
I'd like to understand. *I am doing significant efforts but<br>
I now have the feeling this is not reciprocal.* What's wrong?<br>
I need an answer.<br>

Vincent,
I stand to my points.  Three more things:
1. I=B9m not with Nokia IPR/legal anymore, I=B9m now with a video-conferencing
company called Vidyo.  My access to legal resources here is limited.
2. I have not implied that you are out of policy, although that may also be
the case.  I have implied (and state here now directly) that the way you ar=
e
working on IPR topic is dangerous to me, to my employer, possibly to my
previous employers, and arguably to yourself.  It=B9s also rude to push
information towards people who have expressed to you many times that they
are not interested in.  The reasons for that lack of interest are not your
concern.=20
3. When patent numbers are involved and details of claim language are
discussed on a public mailing list, there is no such thing as =B3ignoring=B2.
One may well =B3notice=B2 (in any sense of this word you wish to tag to it).

tatement about IPR related to draft-roca-fecframe-rs-02

Hello Stephan and Mike,


I think your emails deserve an answer.
Generals considerations first, and then I'll focus on
the specific point under discussion.

--

I'm also fed up with all these IPR issues that oblige me to
leave my primary activities all too often. I'm researcher,
not an IPR lawyer and I have no natural inclination for
these legal aspects.

That being said, I also want my work to be useful to the
whole community (within or outside of the IETF, Nokia and
QC included). From this point of view, if there's an IPR
disclosure and if I have the feeling an alternative
solution exists, I'll examine it instead of "passively
accepting" the situation. In any case be assured my
behavior is only governed by the desire to be useful to
the community.

*** There is IPR disclosures on many specifications within the IETF, and th=
e standards in which they exist are useful to the whole community.  Your pr=
emise is flawed, and thus much of the reasoning below.

One big difference between you and me is the fact I don't
have any legal department in charge of examining IPR
aspects. If my documents are subject of a disclosure, I
can either ignore it (as many colleagues do) or tackle
its analysis. If I want to achieve my above goal of being
useful to the community, this second option is the only
possible.

Yes, I'd like we could all work just like 30-40 years ago,
when smart people were eager to design the best possible
Internet, using the best possible techniques, just because
it was the right answer to the situation. It's  worth
remembering this heritage. It's perhaps an utopia
today, however I'm doing my best to stick with this
philosophy since I currently have the freedom to do
that.

*** Much of the best technology used on the Internet has/had IPR, including=
 Reed-Solomon codes, all video codecs, etc.

Finally, you can find many examples of WGs going into this
kind of discussion, e.g. in the informational RFC 3669
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc3669/).
A few excerpts of the lessons learned:

   o  IPR claims should never be disregarded without good cause.  Due
      diligence should be done to understand the consequences of each
      claim.
[...]
   o  It's sometimes beneficial to push IPR claimants to find out what
      they think their claims cover and what their licensing terms are.

   o  Possibilities of prior art should be considered.

   o  It's all right, and sometimes beneficial, to discuss IPR claims
      and gather information about possible prior art on the group list.
      The results of such discussion can be considered when deciding
      whether to develop a technology (but remember that neither the
      IETF nor any working group takes a stand on such claims as a body,
      and the group is not the best place to get legal advice).

The above sentences are not definite rules, of course, and
each situation is specific and needs to be handled
appropriately. However saying that "[the FECFRAME mailing
list] is not the forum to discuss specific IPR" is a
personal interpretation that is in-line with the IETF
practices.


--

Now, concerning the topic that triggered this discussion:

- I've updated the I-D and in theory it's sufficient for
  QC to be aware of our attempts to solve the problem;
- However I explicitly told Mike what we've done and
  asked him to clarify QC's position. No answer;
- I met Mike just before the fecframe meeting and asked
  again the same question. Unless I misunderstood what he
  said, I didn't get any answer;

*** You got an answer, which I'll repeat here: the one issue that we discus=
sed previously was addressed, but there are other issues which we have iden=
tified that still need to be considered and addressed.

- the situation was once again explained in my slides.
=20
 I was not there unfortunately, but I didn't see
  anything in the Minutes;
- And then came this new IPR disclosure that completely
  ignores any effort I've made to try understand the
  situation and to solve it.

*** The main change to the new IPR disclosures (and we updated them all in =
RMT and FECFRAME, not just this one) compared to previous is the licensing =
terms, that rationally should put the whole issue to rest.  Clearly, this d=
idn't mollify you, as it seems that any IPR, even if the licensing terms ar=
e quite quite favorable, is unacceptable in your opinion.  However, during =
the course of the IPR update process, we did reexamine the spec and underst=
ood that there were still some technical issues with the current draft that=
 probably would have to be changed to be clear of the particular IPR that i=
s declared on the current draft.  If I remember correctly, you also mention=
ed that you would be adding some new elements to the next version of the dr=
aft, and be aware and forewarned that these will also have to be carefully =
scrutinized, as part of our obligations, to see if there is any necessity t=
o declare additional IPR.=20

At this point, I'm now wondering if QC's strategy is not
to leave this point open until everybody forget? Anyway,
if QC does not want to answer, I want it to be clearly
stated and justified. How long it will take me to have
this clarification is not under my control.

*** This is not nor ever has been QC strategy.

I'm not responsible of the whole story. Especially as
last year I even made sure that there was no IPR issue
in FECFRAME. Now DF/QC chose the submarine patent
approach ("undisclosed pending patent") and to keep it
secret till it's granted, last month.  It's their right but me
and my co-authors are the victims in this story.

*** It was not a submarine patent, and it is dangerous to allege this.


Last but not least...
In all my emails exchanges, I pay attention not to offend
anybody. I don't have the feeling that any email I sent
(including this one) was offending, but if somebody has a
different feeling, then I apologize since this was not my
goal.

Sorry for this very long email. I hope that you now better
understand my attitude. Stephan, if you are not interested
by my  IPR-related emails, which I can understand, then
please  ignore them.

And long life to the IETF that already enabled me to solve
similar issues, without having to waste time, energy and
money in a court, whereas a consensus was easily achievable
as long as both parties are working toward this goal. Last
Autumn discussion with Mike on the RMT mailing list proved
it's possible. Thanks!

*** Nothing was achieved in RMT in my opinion.  That was a huge waste of ti=
me and energy in my opinion to try and resolve the situation, and didn't ac=
hieve anything, as still it is the case that QC has declared IPR on some of=
 your drafts and you have declared loudly and publicly in many forums that =
this is not the case.  How is that a good resolution?

Best regards,


    Vincent

Mike,

I discover that QC just updated its previous IPR disclosure
against our I-D in:    https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1288/

This disclosure refers to draft-roca-fecframe-rs-02, i.e. the
latest version where we tried to solve the potential IPR issue
as I explained to you in my previous emails (sent before the
IPR disclosure update):
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/fecframe/current/msg00636.html

So I take it as QC's official answer: the issue is not solved in
-02 version according to QC!


Since it seems I have no choice, let's put everything on the
table:

** Concerning US Patent 7,660,245:
This patent has three independent claims: 1, 16 and 18.
*All of them* are restricted to situations where different source
packets contribute to a different number of source symbols.
Unless we forgot something, we removed from our I-D all
references to this technique, which is sufficient to conclude that
version -02 cannot infringe US Patent 7,660,245.

** Concerning Patent 20100050057:
This patent has four independent claims: 1, 10, 16 and 24.
*All of them* are restricted to situations where different source
packets contribute to a different number of source symbols, so
my answer is exactly the same.


I'd like to understand. *I am doing significant efforts but
I now have the feeling this is not reciprocal.* What's wrong?
I need an answer.


Regards,

  Vincent
