`
`ACCUSED PRODUCTS1
`The Accused Products perform a method of interfacing private and public data communications networks,
`through a filter node in communication with both networks.
`
`For example, to the extent the preamble is limiting, each of the Accused Products provides hotspot
`functionality which enables other devices to connect to the internet. The Accused Products act as a filter node
`which enables communication between the first and the second network, as shown by testing citation 11.1(1),
`where a set of packets from one or more devices in the first data communication network is sent to an external
`server through the Accused Product. The Accused Product(s) interfaces the first network with the internet
`using an IP address addressable through the internet, as also shown by citation 11.1(2).
`
`Public document citation 11.1(3) shows that a portable Wi-Fi Hotspot feature is present on all Accused
`Products. Exemplary screenshot citation 11.1(4) shows the hotspot feature provided on the Accused Products
`Nexus 5 and Nexus 7.

`
`For example,
`The Accused Products receive packets from the first network comprising the source address of the first
`network and the destination address of the second network. For example, testing citation 11.2(1) shows an
`exemplary Wireshark capture when one or more source devices (e,g., IP address: 192.168.43.102 and IP
`address: 192.168.43.234) communicate with a destination address. Similarly, testing citation 11.2(2) shows a

`
`For example,
`The Accused Product(s) hotspot functionalty maintains the source address taken from the data packet.
`Citation 11.3(1) shows an exemplary Wireshark capture when a source device (e.g., IP address:
`192.168.43.102) communicates with a destination node when a source node communicates with nodes in an
`external network through the hotspot. Citation 11.3(2) shows an exemplary packet capture when the Hotspot
`device communicates with the destination and the packets received from the source device with IP address:
`192.168.43.102. Citation 11.3(3) shows shows an exemplary packet capture of packets received by The
`Accused Product(s) from the destintation node corresponding to the packets which have to be forwarded to
`the device with IP address (e.g., 192.168.43.102). Citation 11.3(4) shows an exemplary Wireshark capture of
`packets received by the device (Destination IP addresses – 192.168.43.102) in the first network from the
`destination node. Since the Accused Products transmit the response packets from the destination node back to
`the source device (by substituting destination address in the response packets), the hotspot device maintains
`the source address taken from the request data packet.

`The Accused Products replace the destination address with the maintained source address in the return packet.
`
`For example:
`The Accused Product(s) replaces the destination address of the returned packet with the maintained source
`address. Citation 11.7(1) shows an exemplary Wireshark capture in the second network, where a return packet
`is received from a node in the second network (source IP address: 86.64.162.35 and source port 5060) having
`the replaced address (destination IP address: 30.104.45.214 and destination port: 1024). Citation 11.7(2)

`the maintained source address (IP address: 192.168.43.102, Port address: 54321) for the packets received by

`
`Upon information and belief, the Accused Google products perform the method as claimed in claim 15,
`comprising ignoring the incoming data packet received from the second network, if the destination port of the
`destination information in that data packet can not be correlated to the maintained source information.
`Rockstar will supplement these contentions once Google produces the source code for the Accused Products.
`
`The Accused Products perform the method of claim 16, wherein the Accused Products maintain the source
`information from the outgoing data packet as an entry in a lookup table and use the filter node port value
`correlating to the source information as an index into the lookup table.
