`
`AFFIDAVIT OF CHRISTOPHER BUTLER
`
`1. I am the Office Managerat the Internet Archive, located in San Francisco,
`California. | make this declaration of my own personal knowledge.
`2. The Internet Archive is a website that provides access to a digital library of
`Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide
`free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public. The Internet
`Archive has partnered with and receives support from variousinstitutions, including the
`Library of Congress.
`3. The Internet Archive has created a service known as the Wayback Machine. The
`Wayback Machine makesit possible to surf more than 450 billion pages stored in the
`Internet Archive's web archive. Visitors to the Wayback Machine can search archives
`by URL (i.e., a website address). If archived records for a URL are available, the visitor
`will be presented with a list of available dates. The visitor may select one of those
`dates, and then begin surfing on an archived version of the Web. The links on the
`archived files, when served by the Wayback Machine,pointto other archivedfiles
`(whether HTML pagesor images). If a visitor clicks on a link on an archived page, the
`Wayback Machinewill serve the archived file with the closest available date to the page
`upon which the link appeared and wasclicked.
`4. The archived data made viewable and browseable by the Wayback Machineis
`compiled using software programs knownas crawlers, which surf the Web and
`automatically store copies of webfiles, preserving these files as they exist at the point of
`time of capture.
`5. The Internet Archive assigns a URL onits site to the archived files in the format
`http://web.archive.org/web/[Year in yyyy][Month in mm][Day in dd][Time code in
`hh:mmi:ss]/[Archived URL]. Thus, the Internet Archive URL
`http://web.archive.org/web/19970126045828/http://www.archive.org/ would be the
`URLfor the record ofthe Internet Archive home page HTMLfile
`(http://www.archive.org/) archived on January 26, 1997 at 4:58 a.m. and 28 seconds
`(1997/01/26 at 04:58:28). A web browser maybe setsuchthata printout from it will
`display the URLof a web pagein the printout’s footer. The date assigned by the Internet
`Archive applies to the HTML file but not to image files linked therein. Thus imagesthat
`appear on a page maynot have been archived on the same date as the HTML file.
`Likewise, if a website is designed with "frames," the date assigned by the Internet
`Archive applies to the frameset as a whole, and not the individual pages within each
`frame.
`6. Attached hereto as Exhibit A are true and accurate copies of printouts of the
`Internet Archive's records of the HTMLfiles or PDFfiles for the URLsand the dates
`specified in the footer of the printout (HTML)or attached coversheet (PDF).
`7. 1 declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

`Specification Framework
`
`1 Introduction
`
`1.1 Motivation
`
`The motivation for the MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) technology comes from the
`requirement for a low cost high speed multimedia peer to peer network, that would not need a PC or
`any other central intelligence to operate in order to be cost effective, flexible, reliable and future proof.
`the main
`layer has always been one of
`The option of having optical media as the physical
`considerations for design of the MOST network. Our definition of multimedia includes everything from
`audio, video, telecommunications to data processing and control. One of the essential needs in such
`an environment is the support for true plug and play functionality (into and out of the network).
`
`MOST network technology is a versatile, high performance, and low cost multimedia network
`Ideal for real-time applications such as CD
`technology based on synchronous data communication.
`quality audio, surround sound, and high quality video, it also supports control data and burst-type data
`transfers for both latency sensitive and latency insensitive network devices. It can operate with or
`without a PC, in a single or multiple master environment and with as many as 64 nodes providing all
`elements of plug and play.
`
`1.2 Objective of the Specification
`
`The objective of the entire specification is to describe the MOST system in terms of physical layer,
`transport layer, link layer, network management and the programming interface required to develop
`and build systems and devices that are compliant with this standard. The goal
`is to provide all
`information needed to make inter-operable devices in an open architecture but still leaving enough
`room for product and market differentiation without losing compatibility.
`
`1.3 Scope of this Specification Framework
`
`This specification framework is mainly targeted to all those readers, who want to get an introductory
`overview of the MOST System and its abilities.
`It provides valuable information to device developers,
`OEM’s and System integrators, but also to independent hardware and software platform architects.
`
`This overview can be used for system evaluation, product and system planning. For more information
`please refer to detailed specification documents (see below).
`
`1.4 MOST Cooperation
`
`The MOST Cooperation is based on a partnership of Car Makers, Set Makers, and System Architects.
`Goal of the MOST Cooperation is, to define and develop a common multimedia network protocol and
`object model. All members of the MOST Cooperation get access to the technical information and to
`the specifications that are the result of the common work. Since verification of the various results is
`also a part of MOST Cooperation’s work, their members have access to a reliable basis for their
`development activity. For generating products based on the information of the common information
`pool, licenses are required. Licenses can be obtained by every member of the MOST Cooperation.
`Licensing and handling of the intellectual property is task of the MOST Cooperation. For getting more
`information about MOST Cooperation in general, and about the joining of MOST Cooperation, please
`refer to the contact address to be found on page 2.

`
`2 Background
`
`2.1 Evolution of the MOST Technology
`
`MOST technology was originally developed for multimedia applications in the automotive environment,
`where an extremely robust, yet cost-effective network is needed. MOST networks, are replacing the
`bulky and expensive wiring harnesses that automobile manufacturers have used in the past to satisfy
`their multimedia connectivity requirements. The Plastic Optical Fiber based MOST Network not only
`provides substantially higher performance than the old wiring harnesses, but is more robust (no ground
`loops, etc.) at lower cost!
`Increases in the speed of the network and other improvements have now
`made the system appropriate for other environments in addition to automotive, such as multimedia PC
`systems and home networks. The continuing acceptance of MOST solutions will ensure that a robust,
`high performance technology will be available at lower costs to the consumer electronics market.
`
`2.2 Main Goals of the MOST Technology
`
`The MOST technology is specified to be an industry de facto standard for low cost, high bandwidth
`data communications in consumer, telecommunications and computing applications based on plastic
`fiber optics as a transportation layer. The following goals were essential
`in the definition of
`the
`architecture of the MOST System:
`
`Applicable to consumer applications with or without the existence of a central control or PC
`Low-cost solution with data rates up to 24.8Mbps
`Optimized for use with Plastic Optical Fiber (POF)
`Ease of use with excellent reliability
`Full support for real-time audio and compressed video
`Asynchronous and synchronous data transfer
`Open protocol interface for use with a variety of protocols
`Virtual network management embedded in the system
`Integration into commodity technology
`Widespread availability of key components
`Scalability at the device level
`Provide device specification for easy implementation
`Network functions are as transparent as possible

`2.3 Speed Requirements
`
`In consumer applications the biggest concern in terms of success of a product or system is cost.
`However,
`the compromise between cost and performance has to be considered seriously. The

`
`2.4 Features
`
`MOST technology employs a synchronous approach in order to provide a low overhead, low cost
`network interface to even the most simple multimedia devices.
`It supports such devices as
`analog/digital converters for microphones and digital/analog converters for speakers with low
`intelligence and no buffering capability. Removing the need for buffering is a key feature of the MOST
`technology. All of this capability is provided without any compromise in signal quality.
`
`MOST technology provides more complex DSP-based devices with all of the control and multimedia
`information necessary to fully utilize their capabilities which in turn maximizes the flexibility of the
`overall system. Equipment such as multimedia computers, analog audio gateways, multimedia CD
`players, hi-fi audio equipment,
`telecommunications terminals, video players, TV sets, satellite
`receivers, set top boxes, etc. can all be networked to interact at the lowest possible cost.
`
`Since most equipment interconnected with this kind of network is capable of digital signal processing,
`the network is structured in a way that
`these applications can be implemented very efficiently.
`Multimedia related features, such as bandwidth allocation and peer-to-peer communication make it
`ideal for a serial multimedia consumer network, without the need of a central host. The current version
`of MOST technology can support up to 15 uncompressed, stereo CD-quality audio channels, up to 15
`MPEG1 audio-video channels, or
`several MPEG2 video + audio channels (depending upon the
`MPEG2 implementation). In addition to the multi-channel source data, additional bandwidth for control,
`communication and asynchronous applications is always present.
