System including transmitter and receiver

A transmitter connectable to a receiver via a plurality of paths connecting the transmitter and the receiver, the transmitter being configured to transmit a command and data to the receiver, the transmitter comprising:

• a plurality of transmitting units that transmit the command and the data, each of the transmitting units being connected to one of the paths;
• a dividing unit that divides data into a plurality of segments, and that enables each of the transmitting units to transmit each of the segments of the data via each of the corresponding receiver, respectively;
• and
• a duplicating unit that duplicates the command, and that enables each of the transmitting units to transmit each of the duplicated commands via each of the corresponding receiver.

A receiver connectable to a transmitter via a plurality of paths coupling the receiver and the transmitter, the receiver being configured to receive a command and data from the transmitter, the receiver comprising:

• a plurality of receiving units that receive the command and the data, each of the receiving units being connected to each of the paths, respectively;
• a merging unit that merge the segments of data back into a data;
• and
• a controller that receives the duplicated commands from the transmitting units via the paths, and upon confirmation of successful receipt of at least one of the duplicated commands, that starts to process the merged data in accordance with the command.
