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 10):
A system for controlling data transfer rates between network devices, the system comprising:\n a computing device comprising a processor and one or more non-transitory tangible computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to:\n determine that a negotiated transfer rate for transferring data from a first network device to a second network device over a first network exceeds a downstream transfer rate, the downstream transfer rate corresponding to a transfer rate between the second network device and a third network device over a second network; \n generate a configuration message that, when received by the first network device, causes the first network device to limit data transfer between the first network device and the second network device to no greater than the downstream transfer rate; and \n transmit the configuration message to the first network device.
