Throttling down scans

Subject: Throttling down scans

Hi,

Is there a way that we can throttle down our scans on our subnets so that
it wouldn't impair network performace?  I'd like to see if anyone can look
at our scanning profile and give me some insight as to what is wrong.  We
are using a lot of routers with firewall featureset within them.  During
the scanning process, it opens up hundreds of half-open connections filling
the state tables of the routers thereby causing a DOS on the network.
