Abstract
This invention relates to a system and method for adapting the ports of computing elements in transferring data between computing elements on a network. Ports of the computing elements are interconnected for data transfer through a switch complex. The interconnected ports are adapted to cooperate together in transferring the data. Data which is ordinarily designated to be transferred through one port of a computing element may be transferred through a different port.
