Abstract
DisplayPort micropackets of uncompressed visual information are adapted for communication across a network by stuffing packets with sink device identification information. For example, a packet stuffer adds selected portions of sink device EDID information to DisplayPort packets, such as EDID bytes 8 through 15, to a predetermined portion of the DisplayPort packets, such as between symbols FS and FE. Adding sink device identification information to each DisplayPort packet supports routing or switching of the packets to the identified sink device.
