Apparatus, systems and methods for managing and aggregating cached data of aggregated electronic devices for sharing functionality to fulfill requested tasks, while monitoring and controlling battery energy levels in the electronic devices to ensure sufficient battery power is available, individually or collectively, to fulfill a requested task. The electronic devices are positioned in proximity to a computing device for sharing cached hierarchies of each device as well as hierarchies of the aggregated devices. The electronic devices are provided in proximity to a charge distribution unit (CDU) for determining if each electronic device has enough battery power to complete all, or a portion, of a requested task. If any device needs charging, the CDU allocates and distributes battery power from one or more other device batteries and/or power outlet. The charging power is then transferred to the electronic device in need of charging to fulfill the requested task.

A default mode of operation for a link is set at a server upon initialization. A wait pulse repetition time and number of supported modes of operation are set at the server. A protocol identifier is set to the default mode. A link initialization frame including the protocol identifier is transmitted to a port of a switch. Based on failing to receive a handshake response to acknowledge successful decoding of the protocol identifier from the switch prior to expiration of the wait pulse repetition time: the protocol identifier is changed to a next mode of operation, the wait pulse repetition time is reset, and the link initialization frame is transmitted to the port of the switch. Changing the protocol identifier, resetting the wait pulse repetition time, and transmitting the link initialization frame are repeated until the handshake response is received or all supported modes of operation are checked.

Packet routing paths are defined in a table of a switch for flows within a network based on a communication received on a secure channel between a network controller and the switch. A link initialization frame that includes a protocol identifier is received at a port of the switch. Based on successfully decoding the protocol identifier, the port is configured to a mode of operation compatible with the protocol identifier. The table in the switch is updated to configure one or more other ports of the switch to the mode of operation compatible with the protocol identifier. A handshake response is sent to acknowledge the successful decoding of the protocol identifier.

Congestion management for data traffic in a virtual domain identifies a congestion source and sends a message to the source to adjust data traffic rates. The source may be a virtual machine hosted by a physical server with one or more virtual servers incorporated. A congestion manager may identify the source and send the message to the source without affecting other data sources hosted by the physical server or the virtual servers. In some embodiments, information about the congestion source may be encapsulated in a packet payload readable only by the congestion source so only the congestion source receives the instruction to adjust the transmission rate.
