Cisco, TCP problem, ISN selection... please help!

[Toni Mueller <openbsd-misc_(_at_)_oeko_(_dot_)_net>]

Hello all,

a while ago (1-2 yrs?) there was a big problem with Cisco trying to
push their fix for ISN attacks into being an IETF standard, and having
a patent on it, too (afair).

Unfortunately, I'm currently both _very_much_swamped_ AND also under
_HIGH_PRESSURE_ to dig this whole story up until this evening (just
heard that it is so). Theo made some comments about the
non-effectiveness of the Cisco fix at the time, and some more on how
and why OpenBSD is better.

If anyone could _please_ help me dig this story, I'd be very grateful.


Best,
--Toni++
