Techniques for encoding data are described herein. The method includes receiving a block payload at a physical layer to be transmitted via a data bus. The method includes establishing a block header comprising an arrangement of bits, the block header defining two block header types, wherein a hamming distance between block header types is at least four.

Method of encoding data

A system can include a host device and a remote terminal. The host device can include a host terminal, the host terminal including a host configuration manager to allocate a data lane to an I/O protocol and a protocol multiplexer to carry out allocation of the data lane based on the allocation of the configuration manager. The remote terminal can include a remote configuration manager. The remote configuration manager is to communicate with the remote configuration manager via a control bus to detect connection of an I/O device to an I/O port and to allocate the data lane to the I/O protocol.

Lane division multiplexing of an I/O link

Systems and methods of operating a computing system may involve utilizing at least one of a peripheral protocol negotiation and a universal connector to determine a peripheral device protocol, and reconfiguring a computer device to accommodate that peripheral device protocol. Upon such a reconfiguration, the peripheral protocol negotiation may 'step aside', and one or more subsequent communications between a host computer and the peripheral device utilizing the peripheral device protocol may start.

Peripheral protocol negotiation

A computing device is disclosed herein. The computing device includes a connector port and a near field communication (NFC) transceiver/receiver to identify a connector approaching the connector port. The computing device also includes an indicator to indicate compatibility of the connector with the connector port.

Connector identification through proximity sensing

In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides performing packet processing on one or more packets, and substantially simultaneously with said performing packet processing, using a data movement module to place one or more payloads corresponding to the one or more packets into a read buffer.

Accelerated TCP (transport control protocol) stack processing

In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides receiving an indication on a network component that one or more packets have been received from a network; the network component notifying a TCP-A (transport control protocol&#x2014;accelerated) driver that the one or more packets have arrived; a TCP-A driver performing packet processing for at least one of the one or more packets; and the TCP-A driver performing one or more operations that result in a data movement module placing one or more corresponding payloads of the at least one of the one or more packets into a read buffer.
