Seems this is just the bog standard keepalive packet to keep NAT port mapping from expiring.
- api 11y agoSo all SIP phones, BitTorrent uTP, Skype, and pretty much anything P2P infringes?
- nine_k 11y agoHopefully SSH itself does not depend on this exact implementation, and can be updated to use something non-infringing?
- smhenderson 11y agoThe details in the press release are thin but my impression is this has nothing to do with SSH other than the fact that the creators of the protocol are the ones doing the suing. I was worried by the headline but reading the article this looks like it's more about going after someone with deep pockets over a trivial patent. My guess is they are fishing for a quick settlement. Something to keep an eye on though. Sigh, I miss groklaw.
