Abstract
The disclosed embodiments relate generally to remote server management technology. More particularly, the embodiments relate to improving the ability of remote server management tools to snoop large amounts of data, including graphical video data, from a communication bus. When snooping the communication bus for data, there is a risk that a storage device gathering the data will be overrun when the volume of relevant data snooped is high. The embodiments relate to a method and apparatus for passively throttling the communication bus to prevent overrun of devices storing snooped data.
