Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a method for balancing latency versus bandwidth trade-offs in packet transmission utilizing PCI-Express. The method may comprise identifying at least one system element along a path of a packet to be transmitted; determining and storing an optimum payload size for each one of the at least one system element; configuring a Max Payload Size parameter for each one of the at least one system element, wherein the Max Payload Size parameter is configured based on the optimum payload size for each one of the at least one system element.
