Cisco is running an April Fools patent contest!

For example:
ADHD protocol
Routers periodically broadcast a location/cost profile.
Successful protocol response : "I have a new bike!"

Well That was my idea, but maybe it was not so funny :)

Prizes ("a small cash award and a patent poster")
will be awarded for :
Most humorous.
Most creative use of network technology.
Mostly likely to be allowed by the US patent office.

If you have a good idea, post it here or PM me and I
will submit it for you. Enter as often as you want (all
readers, you don't have to be a CotC)
If you win, I will forward the poster and award in full to you.
If they let me put your name on the poster, I will do that too.

Are these supposed to be funny tricks related to Cisco Technology that sort of seem like they can be real things?

Router tech will get preference as will 'almost useful' ideas.
But there is a reference to a sample page that is completely
unrelated:
