Reading this early work
These are architectural essays, rather than peer-reviewed papers or independent incident investigations. Their original claims about effectiveness and patents should not be read as current validation or granted-patent status.
For the later technical treatment, read the unified control-plane working paper. For current development scope and public IP information, see IVD and Patents & Inventions.
