Abstract
An apparatus includes an event message generator configured to generate an event message. The apparatus further includes a filter circuit configured to receive the event message and to send a first portion of the event message to a destination device. The filter circuit is further configured to selectively send a second portion of the event message to the destination device at least partially based on an event traffic load associated with the destination device.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- an event message generator configured to generate an event message;
- and
- a filter circuit configured to:
- receive the event message;
- send a first portion of the event message to a destination device;
- selectively send a second portion of the event message to the destination device at least partially based on an event traffic metric associated with the destination device;
- and
- selectively delay or drop the second portion of the event message based on the event traffic metric exceeding a traffic threshold.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a filter circuit, an event message from an event message generator;
- sending, by the filter circuit, a first portion of the event message to a destination device;
- determining an event traffic metric associated with the destination device;
- sending the event traffic metric to the filter circuit;
- comparing, by the filter circuit, the event traffic metric with a traffic threshold;
- and
- sending the second portion of the event message to the destination device in response to the event traffic metric not exceeding the traffic threshold.
4 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- means for generating an event message;
- and
- means for:
- forwarding a first portion of the event message to a destination device,
- selectively forwarding a second portion of the event message to the destination device at least partially based on an event traffic metric associated with the destination device, and
- selectively discarding the second portion of the event message based on the event traffic metric exceeding a traffic threshold.
