Abstract
SAS topology is managed. Internally within a SAS device on a SAS network, a performance characteristic of a PHY of the SAS device is monitored. Internally within the SAS device, it is determined, based on the performance characteristic, that the PHY has a problem, and, based on the determination, the PHY is affected to help prevent the PHY from adversely affecting communications on the SAS network.
