Abstract
The invention detects and responds to events occurring on a computer network medium. When a network media event is detected, network parameters are adjusted, if possible, to adapt to the new circumstances brought about by the event, and traffic may be rerouted if that is appropriate. High-level protocol drivers and network-aware applications are notified of the event so that they may adapt to the changed network circumstances. Sometimes, as a result of the network media event, the computer communicates with other devices on the network to discover the state of network entities, network elements, and services.
