The Patent Holder states that its position with respect to licensing any patent claims contained in the patent(s) or patent application(s) disclosed above that would necessarily be infringed by implementation of the technology required by the relevant IETF specification ("Necessary Patent Claims"), for the purpose of implementing such specification, is as follows(select one licensing declaration option only):

Previous (#4017) This (#4044)
See Text Below for Licensing Declaration Licensing See Text Below for Licensing Declaration

If technology in this document is included in a standard adopted by IETF
and any claims of any Arista patents are necessary for practicing the
standard, any party will have the right to use any such patent claims under
reasonable, non-discriminatory terms, with reciprocity, to implement and
fully comply with the standard.

The reasonable non-discriminatory terms are:

If this standard is adopted, Arista will not assert any patents owned or
controlled by Arista against any party for making, using, selling, importing
or offering for sale a product that implements the standard, provided,
however that Arista retains the right to assert its patents (including the
right to claim past royalties) against any party that asserts a patent it
owns or controls (either directly or indirectly) against Arista or any of
Arista's affiliates or successors in title or against any products of Arista
or any products of any of Arista's affiliates either alone or in combination
with other products; and Arista retains the right to assert its patents
against any product or portion thereof that is not necessary for compliance
with the standard.

Royalty-bearing licenses will be available to anyone who prefers that
option.
