A network device participates in a bandwidth notification protocol at a low layer in a layered protocol suite. Bandwidth nofitications allow enabled transmitters to transmit data so as not to overload any particular part of the network. In an embodiment, intermediate systems (60-63) may proxy for end systems (50-52) which are attached to them in order to transparently account for intermediate communication paths that are slower than either the transmitter or the receiver. |
