Abstract
A first intermediate network device among one or more intermediate network devices performs link training on a first network link extending between the first intermediate network device and a first host network device. The first intermediate network device or a second intermediate network device among the one or more intermediate network devices performs link training on a second network link extending between the first intermediate network device or the second intermediate network device and a second host network device. The one or more intermediate network devices determine when link training of the first network link and the second network link has been completed, and transmit respective link training completion indications to the first host network device and the second host network device. Transmission of the respective link training completion indications includes delaying transmission until link training of both the first network link and the second network link has been completed.
