`Deficiencies of Perlman and Yohe
`
`Microsoft has not shown that the combination of
`Perlman and Yohe makes claims 1, 3, 10 and 22-24
`obvious.
`1. Perlman is not analogous art because it is a synchronizing
`mechanism, not a data transfer system/method. (Claims
`1, 3, 10, and 22-24)
`It would not have been obvious to add permanent
`storage memory to Perlman. (Claims 1, 3, 10, and 22-24)
`3. The combination of Perlman and Yohe still lack a
`sender/computer; means for creating a digital digest on
`data; a caching computer having permanent storage
`memory; and searching for data having the same digital
`digest. (Claims 1, 3, 10, and 22-24)

`Improper to Add Permanent Storage Memory to

`A.
`“…routers typically are rebooted only rarely, so it’s

`3. Microsoft only suggests adding bundling of multiple
`signatures (as recited in Claim 24) to Yohe, however, this fails
`to remedy the shortcomings of Yohe, as outlined above.
`In particular, Yohe still lacks
`A. A Sender/Computer
`B. Means for Creating a Digital Digest on Data
`C. A Caching Computer having permanent
`Storage Memory
`D. Searching for Data Having the Same Digital
