Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed is a method for managing bus channels between a physical layer and a media access channel layer of a network. The method includes determining a current rate of link speed on a media dependent interface side of a physical layer of a network architecture. When the current rate changes to yield a new link speed, the method includes determining a minimal (or near minimal) bus size required to implement the new link speed and switching to the minimal bus size between a physical coding sublayer of the physical layer and a reconciliation sublayer of a datalink layer of the network architecture. The method further includes switching to the minimal bus size between a physical coding sublayer of the physical layer and a reconciliation sublayer of a datalink layer of the network architecture.
