I'm personally fond of the IP-in-IP variation that filed in 20+ years ago as US patent 7,356,031.
No wonder -- you are listed as the co-inventor! Just the fact that it is patented (and the patent is still unexpired) would make it a disfavored candidate for an Internet transition technology. It was not nice of y'all to try to get a monopoly over nesting headers for making an overlay network that tunnels things to distant routers. You have to certify that your work is original in order to even apply for a patent. So, nobody had ever thought of that before y'all did? Really? John
