`Applicants appreciate the Examiner’s allowance of or confirmation of Claims 1-14 of
`
`United States Patent No. 5,941,972. Applicants submit the record as a whole makes evident
`
`the reasons for allowance and that there are additional reasons for patentability not enumerated
`
`by the Examiner. While Applicants agree with the Examiner’s reasons for patentability to the
`
`extent such reasons are consistent with the record as a whole (as Applicants understand them
`to be), Applicants do not acquiesce or agree to any characterization of the claims that place
`
`unwarranted limitations or interpretations upon the claims, especially to the extent such
`
`limitations or interpretations are inconsistent with the claim language, specification or prior
`
`prosecution history in this case.

`Claims 1-14 areallewede
`
`The prior art disclosed by the patent owner and cited by the Examiner fail to teach or suggest, alone or in combination, all the limitations of the
`independent claims (claims 1, 7 and 11), particularly the map/mapping feature which is a one-to-one correspondence, as given in a simple table,
`the map physically resident on a router, whereby the router forms the connection between two separate entities over different transport mediums,
`such that neither entity determines where data is to be sent, but rather, the router solely dictates where the data will be sent; also the “NLLBP”
`feature refering to a fundamental low level protocol defined by a specification/standard that is well known to one of ordinary skill in the art, where
`the NLLBP is used at the router for communications with both the first and second transport medium. The SCSI protocovstandard is considered
`a NLLBP. TCP/IP, e.g., used in Ethernet communications, however, is not considered to be a NLLBP.
