A method of configuring a first client device to utilize at least one type of rate adaptation method in a negotiated session with a second client device. The first client determines whether a first type of rate adaptation method and a generic feedback format are to be used in the negotiated session. Upon determining that only the first type of rate adaptation method is to be used, the first client device is configured to utilize the first type of rate adaptation method for both semi-static and dynamic rate adaptation. Upon determining that both are to be used, the first client device is configured to utilize the first type for semi-static rate adaptation, and to utilize for dynamic rate adaptation a preferred rate adaptation method selected from a plurality of rate adaptation method types that provide improved performance for dynamic rate adaptation compared to the first type of rate adaptation method.

Systems which support an asymmetric link define rules and policies in each individual physical layer. An asymmetric link is a physical layer with a different number of transmit versus receive lanes. Asymmetric links enable physical layers to optimize performance, power, and system resources based on the required data bandwidth per direction across a link. Modern applications exhibit large demands for high memory bandwidth, i.e., more memory channels and larger bandwidth per channel. The utilization data, patterns) of link usage, and/or patterns) of lane usage may be gathered to exploit the facilities provided by asymmetric links. An engine includes AI-fueled analytics to monitor, orchestrate resources, and provide optimal routing, exploiting asymmetric links, lane polarity, and enqueue-dequeue in a computing ecosystem.
