Optional path ordering in packet-based network

Abstract

A system may include multiple electronic devices and multiple hardware transceivers. The multiple electronic devices may include multiple chiplets and may be coupled to each other via an interface network. The multiple hardware transceivers may each be included in or coupled to a respective electronic device of the multiple electronic devices. The multiple hardware transceivers may each be configured to receive data packets from a source device. The data packets each include a protocol field specifying ordering information for delivery to a destination device and a path field specifying path information for routing the delivery to the destination device. The source device and the destination device may each include a chiplet. The multiple hardware transceivers may each be further configured to transmit the received data packets to the destination device using at least the ordering information of each received data packet.
