                Appeal 2007-0663                                                                               
                Application 09/825,661                                                                         
                      3. "To describe the exact state of a set of data files, the DRP protocol                 
                uses a data-structure called an index."  (§ 2.2.)                                              

                      4. "An index is a snapshot of the state of a set of files at a particular                
                moment in time."  (Id.)                                                                        

                      5. "An index not only describes the hierarchical structure of the files,                 
                but it also describes the version, size, and type of each file."  (Id.)                        

                      6. "Once [an] initial download is complete, a client can update the                      
                content by downloading a new version of the index, and comparing it against                    
                the previous version of the index."  (§ 2.3.)                                                  

                      7. "Because each file entry in the index has a content identifier, the                   
                client can determine which files have changed and so determine the minimal                     
                set of files that need to be downloaded in order to bring the client up-to-                    
                date."  (Id.)                                                                                  

                      8. "Because the client can determine the exact set of files that need to                 
                be downloaded, it is possible to issue multi-file requests to get all the files at             
                once."  (§ 2.4.)                                                                               

                      9. "When requesting a file, the client can include the content identifier                
                in [an] HTTP GET request to the server."  (Id.)                                                




                                                      4
