Abstract:
An improved autonegotiation approach includes determining that a negotiated rate between a first network device and a second network device exceeds data transfer capacity over a network path downstream of the second network device. In response, a configuration message is generated and transmitted to the first network device. When received by the first network device, the configuration message causes the first network device to limit data transfer between the first network device and the second network device to no more than the downstream data transfer capacity.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 6 , wherein the connection between the first endpoint and the second endpoint includes a plurality of virtual channels, each virtual channel corresponding to a path between one of the sub-interfaces of the second endpoint and a respective one of the third endpoints, and the configuration message causes the network device to limit data transfer for each virtual channel to the transfer rate between the one of the sub-interfaces and the one of the third endpoints corresponding to the virtual channel.
