1. A method of throttling event messages to be forwarded from an element management system (EMS) to a network management system (NMS), the EMS including a Qs channel process for communicating with the NMS, the method comprising the steps of:

  • maintaining a set of at least one proxy buffer at the Qs channel process, the set having a fill level;

    receiving an event message associated with a network element;

    at a point separate from the Qs channel process, determining from at least the fill level whether the event message is to be forwarded; and

    if the event message is to be forwarded, forwarding the event message to the Qs channel process for storage in the at least one proxy buffer.
