sessions with a predetermined threshold value." Therefore, it is argued,
neither Lin nor Sitaraman teaches limiting the number of sessions active
between a server process and a client process to a predetermined threshold
value (Br. 8).
The Examiner responds that the filter in Lin limits the number of
active sessions between a server process and a client process (Answer 15).
Issue
The issue is whether Lin or Sitaraman teaches "determining, using the
IP address of the computing device, the number of presently active sessions
within said FTP server process previously established with FTP client
processes operating on said computing device" and "comparing said number
of presently active sessions with a predetermined threshold value." If not,
the combination does not teach the limitations.
Analysis
The Examiner acknowledges that Sitaraman does not teach
"determining, using the IP address of the computing device, the number of
presently active sessions within said FTP server process previously
established with FTP client processes operating on said computing device."
We agree. Sitaraman determines the number of active sessions for a "group
of users," which is not based on the IP address or the number of active
sessions with a client process.
