Abstract
A network probe inserted between two nodes in point-to-point link synchronizes modes of operation between the two nodes. The probe utilizes IEEE 802.3u Clause 28 Auto-Negotiation to detect and advertise corresponding information regarding modes of operation for the nodes between which it is inserted in the point-to-point link, to achieve a highest priority common mode of operation between the nodes.
