Abstract

See full text

A system and method having multiple instances of polling engines at IP drivers, wherein the multiple polling engines are monitoring to discover the same network scope. The polling engines' polling intervals are staggered so that the polling communications do not unnecessarily clog the network and so that an apparent response time can be realized in the aggregate results of multiple instance polling. Unique IDs are used to differentiate which engine's status data is being used at any given time, should follow-up be required.
