Abstract
Methods for network device management are described. Load balancing for one or more proxy agents 114, in a network 100, is implemented based on a threshold load and a threshold interval. The load on each of the proxy agents 114 is compared with the threshold load to determine whether a given proxy agent is overloaded, under-loaded, or balanced.
