Appeal No. 1996-3273
Application 08/127,932
3-4]. Appellants argue that Blasbalg does not show or suggest
the transferring of multimedia data and non-multimedia data to
the transmission queue of the sending station in response to
both the determined availability of the transmission queue and
the multimedia pacing requests [brief, pages 7-9]. The
examiner responds that Blasbalg teaches a method of pacing by
changing the size of the packet, which according to the
examiner, is equivalent to changing the window size of the
data [answer, page 6].
We agree with appellants. Blasbalg teaches transferring
data between a sending station and a receiving station based
on a
single factor. That single factor is the traffic load
condition
of the network. In other words, when the traffic flow rate in
the network increases, the size of data packets transmitted
also increases. Likewise, the size of data packets in
Blasbalg decreases when the traffic flow rate decreases. This
single factor in Blasbalg has nothing to do with the
availability of a transmission queue in the sending station.
