It's actually quite simple, you do a compare between the old binary and the
new and the patch contains only the differences. It's a very effective way
to do patches in a non dll type world because it's efficient size wise and
it requires that you already have the product so manual verification isn't
necessary.
I think it would work well for Cisco's IOS patch requirements.
