1. A computer-implemented method for processing system management messages, the method comprising:
- determining a throttling policy associated with a network node for throttling system management messages to be sent to a system management server over a network, the throttling policy includinga queue throttling policy defining a first maximum number of system management messages that can be dequeued from a message queue within a burst period, anda send throttling policy defining a second maximum number of the dequeued system management messages that can be sent to the system management server before entering a quiet period during which no system management messages are sent; and
throttling the system management messages sent to the system management server according to the queue throttling policy and the send throttling policy independently and concurrently.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for processing system management messages are described herein. In one embodiment, a throttling policy associated with a network node is determined for throttling system management messages to be sent to a system management server over a network. The system management messages are then sent to the system management server according to the throttling policy, where the system management server is configured to manage multiple network nodes over the network. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

11. A computer-readable storage medium having instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for processing system management messages, the method comprising:
-
determining a throttling policy associated with a network node for throttling system management messages to be sent to a system management server over a network, the throttling policy including a queue throttling policy defining a first maximum number of system management messages that can be dequeued from a message queue within a burst period, and a send throttling policy defining a second maximum number of the dequeued system management messages that can be sent to the system management server before entering a quiet period during which no system management messages are sent; and throttling the system management messages sent to the system management server according to the queue throttling policy and the send throttling policy independently and concurrently. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A network node, comprising:
-
a throttling policy unit to determine a throttling policy associated with the network node for throttling system management messages to be sent to a system management server over a network, the throttling policy including a queue throttling policy defining a first maximum number of system management messages that can be dequeued from a message queue within a burst period, and a send throttling policy defining a second maximum number of the dequeued system management messages that can be sent to the system management server before entering a quiet period during which no system management messages are sent; and a message processing unit coupled to the throttling policy unit to throttle the system management messages sent to the system management server according to the queue throttling policy and the send throttling policy independently and concurrently. - View Dependent Claims (22)
