Aspects of a method and system for network communications utilizing shared scalable resources are provided. In this regard, networking state information for one or more of a plurality of communication devices may be communicated to a network management device. The network management device may be operable to aggregate the networking state information. The plurality of communication devices may receive aggregated networking state information from the network management device. The plurality of communication devices may route packets based on the received aggregated networking state information. The network management device may be dynamically or manually selected from the plurality of communication devices. The plurality of communication devices may be associated with a sharing domain, and one or more communication devices may be dynamically added to and/or removed from the sharing domain.

Network Interface Controller (NIC) logic may receive a packet comprising a routing parameter indicating a service or cost to be utilized in processing the packet. The NIC logic may determine a selected virtual machine (VM) running on a network device to process the packet according to the routing parameter. The NIC logic may communicate the packet across a network after the packet has been processed by the selected virtual VM. Or, the NIC logic may initialize a VM in the network device to process the packet according to the routing parameter. The NIC logic may receive multiple packets and determine a second selected VM or initialize a second VM to process the multiple packets according to the respective routing parameters of the multiple packets. The routing parameters may indicate device capabilities, service class, quality measurements, latency, power usage or any combination thereof.

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.

Aspects of a method and system for traffic management via virtual machine migration include detecting an abnormal traffic pattern in traffic communicated by a first virtual machine that utilizes a first set of network resources. Responsive to the detection of the abnormal pattern, a second virtual machine that utilizes a second set of network resources may be initialized. The second virtual machine may take over functions performed by the first virtual machine and initialization of the second virtual machine is based on an analysis of the traffic. The second virtual machine may be initialized utilizing stored virtual machine sate information in instances that the abnormal traffic is a result of a malicious attack. The second virtual machine may be initialized utilizing current virtual machine state information in instances that the abnormal traffic is not a result of a malicious attack.

Latency requirements for Ethernet link partners comprising PHY devices and memory buffers, may be determined for packets pending transmission. Transmission may be interrupted for a first packet having greater latency than a second packet, and the second packet may be transmitted. The second packet may be interrupted for transmission of a third or more packets. Packets are inspected for marks and/or for OSI layer 2 or higher OSI layer information to determine the latency requirements prior to completion of transmission of the first packet. The second packet is transmitted after a first portion of the first packet and/or prior to a second portion. Delimiters are inserted among the first and/or second packets for interrupting transmission. A PHY layer, MAC layer and/or higher OSI layer of the second link partner may receive, buffer and/or parse the packets and/or packet portions and/or may reconstruct the first packet and/or the second packet.

Aspects of a method and system for Ethernet Switching, Conversion, and PHY optimization based on link length in Audio/Video Systems are provided. In this regard, the length of a link over which a first communication device communicates with a second communication device may be determined and Ethernet PHY's residing in the communication devices may be configured based on the determination. One or both of the communication devices may comprise an Ethernet switch operable to switch packetized audio and/or video content. The packetized audio and/or video may be switched between the configured Ethernet PHY and one or more other Ethernet PHYs. Audio and/or video data may be received via the one or more corresponding Ethernet PHYs, the received audio and/or video data may be reformatted to be compatible with an audio and/or video interface, and the reformatted audio and/or video data may be transmitted via the audio and/or video interface.
