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 1):
A method of establishing a data transfer rate between network endpoints, the method comprising:\n initiating a connection between a first endpoint of a first network and a second endpoint of a second network, wherein the connection between the endpoint of the first network and the endpoint of the second network can transfer data at up to a first transfer rate; determining the first transfer rate is greater than a second transfer rate for transferring data over the second network; and transmitting, in response to determining the first transfer rate is greater than the second transfer rate, a configuration message to a network device corresponding to the first endpoint, wherein the configuration message causes the network device to limit transfer of data over the connection from the first endpoint to the second endpoint to no greater than the second transfer rate.
