Abstract
A communication path includes N channels or information pathways, each of which is bidirectional, i.e. each channel may be set to either send or receive. The number of send channels (S) and receive channels (R) is programmably set, such that S+R=N. The total bandwidth is N*B, where B is the bandwidth of each channel, and the send and receive bandwidths can be adjusted to any values such that N*B≧(S*B+R*B), on an as-needed basis depending on the processing algorithms being executed.
