Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for mapping point-to-point channels to packet virtual channels. A chip with an point-to-point interface converts point-to-point data to a packet format. The point-to-point channels are mapped to virtual channels of the packet transmission protocol. Information from multiple point-to-point channels may be combined in a single packet. Among the benefits of implementations of the present disclosure is that point-to-point devices may be connected to a packetized network without losing the benefits of separate channels for different types of communication. This allows existing point-to-point devices to communicate using a packetized network without internal modification or performance degradation.
