What is it? Is it at all required that "management alert format" (MAF perhaps) be defined explicitly. Implicitly, in claim 12, MAFs "include at least one an alert standard format(ASF) protocol and or an active management technology (AMT) protocol. "The ASF document defines its protocol to rest upon SNMP and UDP. So is a MAF an aggregator of lower level protocols ASF/AMT)? Is it a choice of protocols? Would SCSI be a MAF? Is there a SCSI command to load firmware to a SCSI device?

The first three applications, including this one, are now down to just over two weeks left on PeerToPatent. If you have not yet "voted" on the examples of prior art, please consider doing so.

Not sure what the implications are of voting if there aren't more than 10, but I'll ask and post back here with the answer. I think I'll move one of the Intel AMT "research" references to the prior art list, as it is in the neighborhood even if not dead on for this application, and we haven't maxed out yet. If anyone has other/better prior art, now's the time to add it before the buzzer sounds. Happy hunting.

So now I've read over this twice and I've decided the whole "alert format" business is a red herring.

This is exactly the kind of thing that PC BIOS-es have been doing for decades. The fact that the different firmware happens to have behavior related to alert formats is simply a demonstration that the different f
