Purpose and plain-language scope (based only on the supplied text):
The patent concerns using a downloadable agent in connection with a communication system, device, or link. Its classifications place it in data switching networks (LAN/WAN path configuration), network management architectures including network management agents or mobile agents, and monitoring/testing of data switching networks. Classification topics expressly referenced in the excerpt include: LAN management using dedicated tools; dedicated network management hardware; broadband network management; processing captured monitoring data (e.g., logfile generation); monitoring metrics such as QoS, energy consumption or environmental parameters; errors/transmission errors; packet loss; delays; network utilization/congestion level; throughput; software-based monitoring/testing; testing arrangements; and fault/event/alarm configuration including triggering conditions and configuration settings (e.g., optimizing configuration for reliability, reducing network costs, increasing network speed).

What the excerpt does not establish:
The supplied excerpt contains only front-page bibliographic data, classifications, and event listings — it does not include the abstract, claims, description, or drawings. Accordingly, the excerpt does not establish the specific claimed subject matter, claim scope or limitations, the technical problem addressed, how the "downloadable agent" is downloaded, configured, or used, the role of any server/LAN/WAN elements beyond keywords and classification labels, or any embodiments, examples, or figures. It also does not establish the accuracy of the listed dates, status, or assignees, which the source itself presents as assumptions or unanalyzed listings. No litigation, ownership-transfer, validity, or prior-art analysis is provided here, consistent with the supplied text and instructions.

Assignment history

Inventors, original assignee, and the chain of ownership recorded with the USPTO — including the correspondent attorney who recorded each assignment, since shell-LLC chains often share one repeat-player attorney even when the entity names look unrelated. Surfaces NPE / patent-troll patterns: shell-entity transfers, known asserters in the chain, repeat correspondent fingerprints, pre-litigation assignments, and bankruptcy fire-sales.
