Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for a connection system operable to sink and source supply power are provided. In this regard, one or more circuits within a connector that resides in a networking enabled device may be operable to determine whether the networking enabled device is to operate as a powered device or as a power supplying device. Based on a result of the determination, the one or more circuits may be operable to couple power pins of the connector to either a first power rail of the networking enabled device or a second power rail of the networking enabled device. The determination of whether the networking enabled device is to operate as a powered device or as a power supplying device may be based on a voltage on a sense pin of the connector and/or based on mechanical characteristics of the connector.

Abstract: A system and method for Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Network (SIEPON) energy saving statistics. Energy saving statistics can be collected from a plurality of subordinate nodes in a point-to-multipoint network through a mechanism that aggregates energy saving statistics as those energy saving statistics are reported upstream. Such aggregation of energy saving statistics can be advantageous in that the aggregated energy saving information can appear uncorrelated to individual subordinate nodes. Privacy concerns are thereby addressed.

Abstract: Cable imbalance diagnostics between channels that include wire pairs for power over Ethernet transmission. In one embodiment, measurements of one or more characteristics of a first channel that includes a first of four twisted wire pairs in a network cable are performed along with measurements of one or more characteristics of a second channel that includes a second of the four twisted wire pairs in the network cable. A determination is then made as to whether the measured one or more characteristics of the first channel and the measured one or more characteristics of the second channel indicate an imbalance between the first channel and the second channel. Adjustments such as isolation, reporting or compensation can then be made in response to the determination

Abstract: A network node module within a vehicle operates to manage devices coupled to a vehicular communication network of the vehicle based on a use mode defining rights and privileges for operating in the vehicular communication network. Upon being configured in accordance with a particular use mode of a set of use modes, the network node module can identify a device coupled to the vehicular communication network and enable the device to operate within the vehicular communication network in accordance with the use mode. The network node module is securely reconfigurable to any use mode in the set of use modes.

Abstract: An Ethernet link may comprise one or more link partners that may be communicatively coupled via one or more silent channels, One or more circuits and/or parameters corresponding to silent channels may be retrained, refreshed and/or updated based on various triggers, for example, fixed times, periodic or aperiodic time intervals, random or pseudorandom timer, events, link statistics, physical conditions such as noise, temperature level, cable type and/or cable length, communication from a corresponding link partner and/or based on programming from, for example, a layer above the physical layer. The retraining, refreshing and/or parameter updating may occur for one or more of an echo canceller, a far-end crosstalk canceller and a near-end crosstalk canceller corresponding to the one or more silent channels.

Abstract: A networking system supports dynamic management of representations of interactions between network members and resources based on global representations of the interactions. Representative views of the interactions for various devices associated with members and network accounts can be managed based on the global representation and configuration information. Representative views can be accessed simultaneously from separate devices, and upon accessing a network from supporting devices, enabling seamless transitions between supporting devices. Members can be provided an option of accessing interactions and engaging in new interactions. Multiple instances of resources can be distributed and provided to members based on locations, energy usage associated with supporting the interactions, and capabilities of devices associated with members. Interactions by various associated devices can be managed, controlled, and restricted based on configuration information.
