1. For use in a computer network having a plurality of nodes associated therewith, a data traffic management system for managing data traffic among said plurality of nodes, comprising:
- a polling circuit that retrieves node traffic information from said plurality of nodes; and
process logic that compares first selected node traffic information associated with a first selected one of said plurality of nodes with a first threshold level to detect a trend in said first selected node traffic information with respect to said first threshold level wherein said process logic, in response to a detection of said trend, modifies a polling rate at which said polling circuit retrieves said first selected node traffic information.

16. For use in a computer network having a plurality of nodes associated therewith, a method of managing data traffic among said plurality of nodes, comprising the steps of:
-
retrieving node traffic information from said plurality of nodes; and comparing first selected node traffic information associated with a first selected one of said plurality of nodes with a first threshold level to detect a trend in said first selected node traffic information with respect to said first threshold level modifying a polling rate at which said polling circuit retrieves said first selected node traffic information in response to a detection of said trend. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
