Prior Art: Each of Perlman (e.g., the receiver requests database contents (e.g., CSNP) or fragment thereof), Yohe (e.g., Fig. 15, step 724), and Santos (e.g., Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 6,757,717 Page 26
In the absence of such a specific description, we assume that anyone desiring to carry out such computerized warehousing and inventory control systems would know of the equipment and techniques to be used.”) B. Obviousness: Arguable Differences From Some Claims Perlman: Perlman’s illustrative embodiment is a general-purpose computer running a link state router protocol requiring rapid propagation of routing table updates, and thus naturally stores its digital fingerprints in RAM, not in the receiver’s permanent memory (cf.
For example, read/write speed is paramount in the routing table synchronization application of Perlman’s illustrative embodiment, not storage capacity, and routers typically are rebooted only rarely, so its cache naturally was in volatile RAM.
On the other hand, Yohe’s illustrative application of synchronizing entire file systems (on client computers that might be rebooted frequently), recommended the greater storage capacity and persistence of storing the cache on disk not solely in RAM.
