Abstract

An intelligent self-configurable adapter is provided. Before transferring data, the adapter configures itself. After configuring itself, the adapter then starts transmitting the data. During data transmission, the adapter monitors the connection to ensure that the transmission is within a certain performance level. If the data transfer falls below the performance level, the adapter may reconfigure itself using a recovery strategy.
