Abstract

A data transfer system includes a PCI Express transaction layer having an input for serially receiving posted and non-posted request packets and completion packets; an application layer coupled to the PCI Express transaction layer for receiving posted and non-posted request packets and completion packets from the PCI Express transaction layer; a first transmission interface coupling the application layer to the PCI Express transaction layer; and a second transmission interface coupling the application layer to the PCI Express transaction layer. The PCI Express transaction layer transmits posted and non-posted request packets to the application layer over the first transmission interface and transmits completion packets to the application layer over the second transmission interface.
