Abstract

See full text

A system for improving network resource utilization. The system includes a prioritizer that prioritizes received data by assigning one or more priority values thereto. A network resource monitor provides network resource information. A transmitter selectively transmits the data based on the network resource information and the one or more priority values. In a specific embodiment, the data includes network messages, and the prioritizer includes a prioritization mechanism that assigns a priority value to each of the network messages. A threshold-comparison mechanism compares each of the priority values to a threshold and provides comparison results in response thereto. The transmitter selectively transmits each of the network messages based on the comparison results. In an illustrative embodiment, the network messages include network alerts generated by an Intrusion Detection System (IDS).
