Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium for a network interface with adjustable rate are disclosed. For example, one method involves receiving a request to activate a virtual lane of an interface, where the request is received by a first node. The interface is configured to facilitate data communication between the first node and a second node, and the interface includes a plurality of virtual lanes that include at least one active virtual lane, and at least one inactive virtual lane. The method also involves, in response to receiving the request, negotiating with the second node to select an additional virtual lane from the at least one inactive virtual lane. The method involves activating the additional virtual lane. After the activating, the first node and the second node are configured to use the active virtual lane(s) and the additional virtual lane for data communication.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种具有可调速率的网络接口的方法，系统和计算机可读介质。 例如，一种方法涉及接收激活接口的虚拟通道的请求，其中请求由第一节点接收。 接口被配置为便于第一节点和第二节点之间的数据通信，并且接口包括多个虚拟通道，其包括至少一个活动虚拟通道和至少一个非活动虚拟通道。 该方法还响应于接收到请求而涉及与第二节点协商以从至少一个非活动虚拟通道中选择另外的虚拟通道。 该方法涉及激活附加虚拟通道。 在激活之后，第一节点和第二节点被配置为使用活动虚拟通道和用于数据通信的附加虚拟通道。
