Document IPR2021-00596, No. 2 Petition - Petition for Inter Partes Review (P.T.A.B. Mar. 4, 2021)
One such reference is Ma1 (EX1005), which describes a method for selecting a single port to route data based on network topology, QoS policy, and Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,018,852 network-efficiency information.
Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,018,852 Therefore, a POSA would have been motivated to use link state advertisement routers described in Ma2 to exchange routing information to Ma1’s communications device.
Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,018,852 To any extent Ma1 does not disclose retaining the network address associated with the inbound flow, a POSA would have been motivated to combine Ma1 with Mohaban because Ma1 would rely on the widely known method of using the information in the 5-tuple to identify whether a packet from the same conversation has been routed recently.
To any extent it is argued that Ma1 does not disclose network address source learning, a POSA would have been motivated to incorporate Mohaban to use the “5-tuple” stored in a table to determine whether an inbound flow belongs to a previously established packet stream.
To any extent it is argued that Ma1 does not disclose monitoring for an inbound flow, a POSA would have been motivated to incorporate the link state advertisement routers described in Ma2 to provide updated network-topology information to the data-communications device.
