`
`Mark R. Lanning
`
`Mark is currently the President of Telecom Architects, Inc., I.N. Solutions, Inc.1 and Reticle Consulting,
`LLC. Each of these companies provides professional consulting services and custom software
`development for one or more particular technical areas. I.N. Solutions (Intelligent Networking
`Solutions) was established in 1991 with an emphasis on applications design and network architecture
`engineering for telephone-based switching and Advanced Intelligent Networking systems. Telecom
`Architects was established in 1999 to provide specialized consulting services to fixed and wireless
`telecom service providers and their equipment suppliers. Reticle Consulting was created in 2009 to
`provide specialized consulting services for forensic software analysis and software source code
`comparison for software misappropriation cases.
`
`Mark has over 35 years of engineering experience in all the development life cycle phases for hardware
`and software products. He has worked with both network operators and product suppliers regarding
`network architectures and product development and has acquired key insights into their perspectives
`and requirements as both suppliers and customers.
`
`While working for three different product suppliers, Mark was directly responsible for the design,
`development and rollout of new products that have earned combined revenues in excess of one billion
`dollars for their respective companies. These products include: the DSC/Alcatel Signal Transfer Point
`(STP) product; the Telinq/ADC M13 transmission multiplexer and analyzer products; and the
`Tandem/HP Service Control Point (SCP), Service Management System (SMS); Service Creation
`Environment (SCE) products and their applications.
`
`Since starting I.N. Solutions in 1991, Mark has worked with Motorola, Sprint, Nextel, and British
`Telecom (BT) to roll out some of the most successful telecom applications and network expansions
`worldwide. Mark was directly involved in the design of Sprint’s Common Channel Signaling System 7
`(SS7) network and the design and rollout of its FON (calling card) and 800 number services. Mark was
`the program manager responsible for the design and rollout of BT’s Advanced Cellular Network (ACN)
`that used AIN functionality. BT’s ACN was one of the largest cellular networks in the world and also
`includes advanced corporate virtual private network (VPN) and pre-pay validation services. Starting in
`1998, Mark and the Telecom Architects (TAI) team were contracted by Nextel to design their 2.5G
`cellular iDEN switching, VoIP dispatch network2 and its TDM/SONET transmission networks. After
`completion of the 2.5G network design, Mark and the TAI team performed a large part of the
`qualification, testing and rollout phases for new equipment suppliers and their applicable products into
`Nextel’s network.
`
`Before starting his own consulting company in 1991, Mark was initially employed as individual
`contributor on both hardware and software development projects, later worked as a manager on
`hardware and software development groups that varying in size from 5-20 engineers and eventually
`held several executive management positions with responsibility of over 200 engineers.
`
`
`Hardware and Software Development Experience
`Mark’s hardware and software experience began in 1974 while in the US Army Signal Corps. Mark
`was initially trained as a hardware technician on data and voice crypto (encrypted transmission)
`communications equipment. After achieving the “top graduate” award at three different hardware and
`
`1 I.N. Solutions Inc. is no longer active.
`2 Also referred to as the Nextel push-to-talk or walkie-talkie feature that did not require a voice bearer channel.

`
`
`
`software training schools, Mark received a Top Secret security clearance and was transferred to the
`Army Security Agency (ASA). His assignment with the ASA included joint software development with
`the National Security Agency (NSA) and the white house communications staff. The software
`development was done on “state of the art” computer and communication systems built by DEC and GE
`using assembly language.
`
`From 1978-1983, Mark worked as both a hardware and software development engineer for IT&T
`Defense Communications. The majority of his time was spent on building a new store and forward
`message switching system that was used by the white house, US embassies worldwide and two major
`US airlines. DEC PDP-11 and PDP-15 computers were coupled together and operated in conjunction
`with custom IT&T hardware for this system. The system architecture was traditional mini-computer
`architecture with sixteen front-end communications computers to interface with hundreds of modems
`and perform various communications protocols. The software was written in DEC assembly language.
`Many different types of communications protocols and state of the art modems were used with this
`system.
`
`In 1983, Mark was hired as hardware and software development engineer by Digital Switch
`Corporation (now a part of Alcatel) and was later promoted to design and development manager
`responsible for their initial SS7 protocol and Signal Transfer Point (STP) products. The STP product
`performed packet switching for thousands of messages per second between telephone switches for the
`purpose of connecting normal phone calls worldwide and support of advanced telephony services. The
`STP was designed to have a fault tolerant hardware and software architecture to provide 24x7 operation
`and provided interfaces to various telephone company management and support systems. A typical
`configuration of the STP product included at least 200 separate microprocessor boards working in a
`closely coupled distributed system architecture. Communications between the processors was
`performed over parallel hardware buses using DSC’s proprietary operating system. Mark was also
`responsible for development of all the communication protocols the STP would require to communicate
`with other switching, operations and administration systems. These protocols were X.25, X.75, SS7
`MTP/SCCP/TCAP and FTP. The hardware used was Zilog Z-8000 and Motorola 68xxx family
`microprocessors. The software was written in assembly and C languages.
`
`In 1985, Mark was hired by Telinq Inc. (now part of ADC) as their director of software development
`and was later promoted to vice president of hardware and software development. Telinq was a venture
`capital start-up company and their initial two products were high speed digital TDM transmission
`multiplexers and analyzers mainly used by telecom network operators and service providers. The
`hardware consisted of multiple Motorola 68xxx family processors replicated different types of custom
`designed high-speed gate arrays. The software was distributed and written in C and assembly language.
`
`In 1987, Mark joined the Telecom Division of Tandem Computers, Inc. (now part of HP) as their Vice
`President of hardware and software development. Tandem Telecom was a new division that built
`products for telephone companies that leveraged its fault tolerant Guardian and Unix based computer
`systems. The initial products built under Mark’s direction were a Service Control Point (SCP), Service
`Management System (SMS) and Service Creation Environment (SCE). Although these product names
`are unique to Intelligent Networking telephony systems, they use state of the art hardware and software
`to perform many standard functions. The SCP system performs on-line transaction processing for the
`telephone switches in a network. These transactions support phone company services like 800 number
`translation, calling card number validation and home location register (HLR) functionality for cellular
`networks. The SCP was a fault tolerant multiple processor system capable of supporting hundreds of
`
`Page 3 of 10
`
`

`
`
`
`globally located nodes with multiple processors in each node. Each SCP required specialized
`communications software and hardware that was build by Tandem Telecom. The full suite of
`commercial communications software was supported including X.25, TCP/IP and SS7. The software
`was written in C, C++ and assembly language. The SMS system was build to manage multiple SCP
`systems, update the software applications and keep their multi-million record databases synchronized.
`The SMS software was written in C and C++. The SCE was telephone service authoring tool used by
`telephone company personnel to modify or create new services on their network without requiring them
`to be intimately familiar with the underlying system or detailed programming. The SCE software ran
`on Unix or PC Windows operating systems and was written in C++ and C and the most advanced
`software development workbench software.
`
`
`Program and Project Management Experience
`Mark has been directly involved with formal project management concepts and tools since 1984. Most,
`if not all, the projects listed above were managed using project management concepts and tools. The
`main techniques used for these projects were PERT and CPM. Mark either generated the initial PERT
`chart and staff assignments for each project or was directly involved in defining the program logic and
`assignments to be used. Since 1984, every project that Mark has been responsible for has included
`formal product life cycle documentation, requirements tracking, problem reporting and resolution.
`
`Since 1991, Mark has been responsible for some large development and network architecture projects
`with a budget in excess of $100 million each. Two of these projects were for British Telecom’s cellular
`network division called Cellnet. The initial project, ACN, was an on-line transaction processing
`(OLTP) system responsible for real-time dialed digit translation for every phone call in the Cellnet
`network and was required to perform thousands of transactions per second. The second project
`replaced Cellnet’s batch-oriented billing system with a distributed real-time call detail record collection
`and on-demand rating and billing system. Both of these systems required custom development for a
`majority of the software that was done by different companies located across multiple countries and
`continents. The ACN project lasted about four years and involved over 100 software development
`personnel located in Texas, Nebraska, California, Sweden, Spain, Finland and England. The billing
`system project lasted more than three years and required over 600 developers at its peak that were
`located in England, Colorado, Texas and Sweden. Both of these systems were 24x7 mission critical to
`completing wireless calls and billing.
`
`Mark and members of the Telecom Architects group have developed innovative methods for
`requirements definition, design, modeling and documentation of large telecommunications networks.
`Some of this methodology has been published by Wireless Review Magazine.
`
`In 1977 and 1978 Mark obtained a Private Pilot, Commercial, Instrument, and Flight Instructor ratings.
`
`Mark received a BS in Computer Science degree from Southern Methodist University in 1983 and has
`been a visiting lecturer at SMU on various data and voice telecommunications subjects.

`“When end-users 104-108 desire to communicate, each of the
`end-users 104-108 sends communication signals through the
`network 102 in the form of data packets, for example. Data
`packets are not required but are convenient for discussion
`purposes. Each of the data packets are received by the
`network 102 and placed into queues awaiting available
`network resources to complete the communication.” (Col. 3, ll.
`39-46)
`
`“a queue processor of [a] network unit 202 that performs the
`processes that support the class queuing system.” (10:60-63)
`
`Processes include processing queued data packets in order “for
`the queue processor to move data packets from one level of the
`class queues to a next level of class queues.” (12:38-40)
`
`Processor operates in a packet data communication system
`such as a network 102 through which “each of the end-users
`104-108 sends communication signals . . . in the form of data
`packets.” (Col. 3:39-41)
`“This invention provides a class queuing system where data is
`placed in queues distinguished by class.” (Col 1, ll. 20-21)

`U.S. Patent No. 7,385,994
`
`
`“This invention provides a class queuing system that processes
`data transmitted by a subscriber based on a class subscribed to
`by the subscriber. For example, in a network environment
`having high, medium, and low classes, each of the classes may
`be guaranteed a minimum bound relative to one or more
`network characteristics. The network characteristics may be
`qualities such as transmission capacity expressed in terms of
`bandwidth (bw), quality of service such as video display
`quality, multimedia capability, or end-to-end transmission
`delay, for example. Based on a specific selection of class
`specification parameters,
`the
`resulting bandwidth/line
`quality/error rate, etc. may be determined and applied as
`appropriate.” (Col. 2, ll. 37-49)
`
`What is claimed is:
`1. A queue management method, comprising:
` establishing a plurality of class queues;
` placing queued data in the class queues according to a
`plurality of classes, each of the queued data being placed in
`one of the class queues based on a class of the queued data;
` grouping the class queues into groups based on a number
`of output ports of an output, each group of the groups
`corresponding to one of the output ports; and
` separating class queues of each group into a plurality of
`levels of queues between an input and the output.
`
`“Data packets are first received from the various network
`devices such as end-users 104 and 108 and the network units
