Abstract
A system and method for dynamically controlling network management traffic load on network devices is provided. A network management module on a network management server has a request module for requesting management data from a network device. A storage device accessible by the network management module stores a list of the network devices and associated management request limits representing a number of management requests the network management module is allowed to send to a particular network device for processing at a time. A queue module on the network management module stores a management request from the network management module when a number of outstanding management requests exceeds the management request limit and places the management request in a queue. The queue module also forwards a management request from the queue to a network device when the network management module receives a response from the network device.
