1. A method for regulating information flow between monitoring agents and a management server in a network, the method comprising the steps of:

  • inserting an interface in the network to access stream based communications in the network;

    exporting control and data ports to each of the monitoring agents;

    receiving requests from one or more of the monitoring agents to establish sessions;

    limiting a number of the sessions to open by limiting the connections on the data ports without restricting connections on the control ports, whereby a connection pool is provisioned containing less than a number of connections needed for all of the monitoring agents to communicate with the management server, and wherein the connection pool is shared among the monitoring agents; and

    dynamically modifying a limit on the number of sessions to open based on changes in network traffic by reducing the limit after a given time threshold passes with none of the monitoring agents waiting to send management information to the management server.
