SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING LOSSLESS INTERPACKET GAPS FOR LOSSY PROTOCOLS

摘要

A communication device, method, and data transmission system are provided. An illustrative method is disclosed to include at least one data port and lossless IPG circuitry that operates on the transmit-side and/or receive-side of the data transmission system. The lossless IPG circuitry may include a lossless IPG insertion circuit and/or a lossless IPG removal circuit that work in cooperation with each other to ensure that data streams do not violate any predefined communication protocols or requirements thereof.
