Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device includes a link interface circuit, a first plurality of allocated buffers, and a second plurality of non-allocated buffers. The link interface circuit is operable to communicate over a communications link using a plurality of virtual channels. A different subset of the plurality of allocated buffers is allocated to each of the virtual channels. The non-allocated buffers are not allocated to a particular virtual channel. The link interface circuit is operable to receive a first transaction over the communications link and assign the first transaction to one of the allocated buffers or one of the non-allocated buffers.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A device, comprising: a link interface circuit operable to communicate over a communications link using a plurality of virtual channels; a first plurality of allocated buffers, wherein a different subset of the plurality of allocated buffers is allocated to each of the virtual channels; and a second plurality of non-allocated buffers that are not allocated to a particular virtual channel, wherein the link interface circuit is operable to receive a first transactio…
