<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and systems for automatically, dynamically reconfiguring multiplexing functions of a physical layer of a SAS device in response to monitored performance of the physical layer and/or in response to changes in configuration of devices in a SAS domain. <P>SOLUTION: The SAS device (102) such as a SAS initiator or a SAS expander in a SAS domain may monitor performance (104) of physical layers (110) of the device to detect bandwidth utilization and may reconfigure multiplexing functions (106) of a physical layer to improve bandwidth utilization of the physical layers (110) of the device. The device may also detect changes (104) in the topology of the SAS domain such as addition of new devices or removal of device and adjust multiplexing functions of its physical layer accordingly to improve performance of communications in the SAS domain. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
