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 20):
The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 19 , wherein the instructions further cause the computing device to:\n identify a change in the downstream transfer rate resulting in a modified downstream transfer rate different than the downstream transfer rate; generate a configuration message that, when received by the first network device, causes the first network device to change a rate of data transfer between the first network device and the second network device; and transmit the configuration message to the first network device, wherein, if the modified downstream transfer rate is less than the downstream transfer rate, the rate of data transfer is changed to a rate equal to or below the modified downstream transfer rate, and, if the modified downstream transfer rate is greater than the downstream transfer rate, the rate of data transfer is changed to a rate that is the lesser of the modified downstream transfer rate and the negotiated transfer rate.
