Abstract
Network traffic information for nodes of a first logical hierarchy is stored at a monitoring device according to ranks of the nodes within the logical hierarchy as determined by each node's position therein and user preferences. At least some of the network traffic information stored at the network monitoring device may then be reported to another network monitoring device, where it can be aggregated with similar information from other network monitoring devices. Such reporting may occur according to rankings of inter-node communication links between nodes of different logical hierarchies of monitored nodes.
