Abstract
An apparatus and method for improving efficiency of data transfer utilizing packet resizing to optimize network management traffic are disclosed. After obtaining a maximum link capacity of a link which is capable of transmitting information, a process of dynamic packet resizing compares the maximum link capacity with a network management system ('NMS') maximum packet size. The outbound packet size of a network element ('NE') is set to the maximum link capacity if the maximum link capacity of the link is smaller than the NMS maximum packet size.
