Why would either be incoporated into firewalls and NATs? Is there a commitment from Cisco or some other big company to back them? What's the killer application that makes them pour out money to upgrade their firmware and go with either of these? 

Takes a lot to motivate sales these days, according to the biz guys. Think they read RFCs and get all excited, saying "Hey, that's our next big product"? :-)
