Systems, devices, and methods for traffic management are provided. An example of a method for traffic management includes receiving a number of policies for data traffic redirectionin a data networkand authorizing a subset of the number of policies based upon matching a plurality of authorization rulessaved in the data network, for example, in a management tooland/or a network device

Systems, devices, and methods for traffic management

Method and system for establishing asymmetric transfer rates between a first node and a second node communicating with each other via a network link using Ethernet as a network protocol is provided. The method includes determining during a negotiation process that the first node and the second node have compatible asymmetric capability to set a first rate for transmitting information via the network link and a second rate for receiving information via the network link using Ethernet as the network protocol; and establishing the first rate for transmitting information and the second rate for receiving information. Furthermore, the first node includes a first port having a receive segment and a transmit segment. The transmit segment and the receive segment have separate PLL modules such that the transmit segment can transmit data at a first rate and the receive segment can receive data at a second rate via the network link.

Method and system for using asymetric transfer rates in receive and transmit paths of a network

Techniques are provided for assigning a device to a desired network. In one embodiment, the device is connected via a network switch to the network. A value of a configurable parameter corresponds to a data speed that would be used to transfer the data between the device and the network. To assign the device to the network, the value of the parameter corresponding to a desired speed is set in the network circuitry of the device. The network switch, interfaces with the device, detects the speed, and, based on this speed, assigns the device to a corresponding network. Additionally, the switch can assign the data duplex based on a value of a configurable duplex parameter set in the network circuitry.

Assigning a device to a network

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of porting software. The method of porting software comprises receiving a set of code operable in a first operating environment. The method further comprises converting the set of code into a class. The method further comprises providing the converted set of code operable in a second operating environment.
