Abstract

See full text

A first add-in card is connected to a second add-in card via a network communication link using a first network protocol. The first add-in card determines that a first network interface device is directly connected to a second network interface device via the network communication link, and directs that the first and second network interface devices communicate via a second network protocol based upon the first network interface device being directly connected to the second network interface device via the network communication link. The second network protocol transmits a higher proportion of data than the first network protocol.
