For those of you who are not technically trianed, let me
explain this more
simply. This patent represents nothing but
an idea, such as this
wiley coyote comes up with in
every episode. Only, with the wiley
coyote's inventions we
get to see the actual implementation. The patent under
discussion remains mute on these details.

This is basically what such algorithms as BGP, EGP, IGP,
OSPF, and other routing protocols do - use various
calculations on link cost to figure out the best (for some
definition of best) route to send data to another system.
OSPFv2 dates back to 1991 (RFC 1247) - v1 is old enough it's
only in postscript format, but it goes back to RFC 1131 in
1989.

Publication date Mar 19, 2013
Filing date Nov 30, 2007
Priority date Oct 31, 1996
Strikes me the filing date should be no more than one year
after the priority date. If it's because of "continuations"
that's proof that continuations should NOT be allowed. If
they have something to add to the patent, that means it's
another patent.
