Abstract
A node in a communication network determines a data rate capacity of one or more nodes of the communication network and creates a single managed object grouping for each node of the one or more nodes having a same data rate capacity. The node establishes one or more static thresholds for the single managed object grouping based on the data rate capacity. The static thresholds are independent of a baseline condition of detected data rates at each node of the single managed object grouping. The node further detects a current rate of received data at each node of the single managed grouping and triggers at least one alert for each node of the single managed grouping when the current rate of the received data at a particular node exceeds the one or more static thresholds.
