Abstract
An apparatus includes an output configured to output data to a communication path of an interconnect for routing to a target and a rate controller configured to control a rate of the output data. The rate controller is configured to control the rate in response to feedback information from the target.
Claims28
An apparatus comprising:
- an output configured to output data to a selected communication path of an interconnect for routing to a target;
- and
- a rate controller configured to control a rate of said output data, said rate controller configured to control said rate in response to feedback information from said target.
A target comprising:
- an input configured to receive data from an apparatus via a selected communication path of an interconnect;
- and
- a feedback provider configured to provide feedback information to said apparatus, said feedback information being usable by said apparatus to control a rate at which said data is output to said selected communication path.
A system comprising:
- an interconnect coupling an apparatus to a target,
- wherein the apparatus includes:
- an output configured to output data to a selected communication path of the interconnect for routing data to the target;
- and
- a rate controller configured to control a rate of the output data, the rate controller configured to control the rate in response to feedback information from the target;
- and
- wherein the target includes:
- an input configured to receive the data from the apparatus via the selected communication path of an interconnect;
- and
- a feedback provider configured to provide the feedback information to the apparatus, the feedback information being usable by the apparatus to control the rate at which the data is output to the selected communication path.
7 more elements
A method comprising:
- outputting data to a communication path of an interconnect for routing to a target;
- and
- controlling with a rate controller a rate of outputting said data, said rate controller configured to control said rate of outputting in response to feedback information from said target.
A method comprising:
- receiving data from an apparatus via a communication path of an interconnect;
- and
- providing feedback information to said apparatus, said feedback information being usable by said apparatus to control a rate at which said received data is output by said apparatus to said communication path.
