Abstract
A method may involve: receiving an even number of odd-sized packets for transmission over a double data rate link; re-packetizing the even number of odd-sized packets into several even-sized packets; transmitting the even-sized packets over the double data rate link; and de-packetizing the even-sized packets to reform the even number of odd-sized packets. Re-packetizing may involve dividing each of the even number of odd-sized packets into an even-sized portion and a remaining portion. Each even-sized portion may be transferred as one of the even-sized packets. The remaining portions of each of the even number of odd-sized packets may be combined to form another one of even-sized packets. De-packetizing may involve associating each of several portions of one of the even-sized packets with a respective other one of the even-sized packets.
