This sucks. It's no different than what Cisco did with their HSRP patent
to try to kill off VRRP. The Huawei IPR claim to the IETF is nearly
identical to the crap Cisco put out years ago in their IPR claim.

The end result is we have CARP, a patent busting implementation that is
far better than either of the originals...
Will they never learn?
Anyone in the mood for "slog" ?
Isn't syslog just like... send random data on port 514 to whoever and
they record it? How can you possibly patent that? That would be like
patenting talking.
