Abstract: A method includes receiving a polling time period and determining a respective polling time for each network device in a plurality of network devices, wherein each respective polling time is distributed evenly across the polling time period. The method further includes determining a time-out time span. The time-out time span includes a start time equivalent to a polling time period end time and an end time. The method additionally includes polling each network device in the plurality of network devices at each respective polling time. The polling includes sending a first message to a first particular network device, and, in response to sending the first message, listening for a response to the first message until the end time of the time-out time span. The polling further includes flagging the first particular network device for review after the end time of the time-out time span.

Abstract: Methods include receiving a threshold time to live (“TTL”) value associated with a license. The methods include determining a first TTL value based on the threshold TTL value. The methods include transmitting a polling request including the first TTL value from a polling device disposed at the network location to a network device. The first TTL value decreases each time the polling request transits through a node device. The methods include receiving a polling response from the network device if the first TTL value has not decreased to a predetermined value before the polling request is received by the network device. The methods include determining that the license permits communication between a monitoring device disposed at the network location and the network device in response to receiving the polling response.

Abstract translation: 方法包括接收与许可证相关联的生存阈值时间（“TTL”）值。 所述方法包括基于阈值TTL值来确定第一TTL值。 所述方法包括从布置在网络位置的轮询设备向网络设备发送包括第一TTL值的轮询请求。 每次轮询请求通过节点设备传输时，第一个TTL值都会减少。 如果在网络设备接收到轮询请求之前，如果第一TTL值没有减小到预定值，则该方法包括从网络设备接收轮询响应。 所述方法包括确定许可证允许响应于接收到轮询响应而在布置在网络位置处的监视设备与网络设备之间进行通信。
