A multi-port transceiver comprises a plurality of first ports, a first communication interface, and a second communication interface. Multi-rate interleaver circuitry interleaves i) a plurality of first data streams, each received via a respective first port at a first data rate, and ii) a second data stream received via the first communication interface at a second data rate, to generate a third data stream to be transmitted via the second communication interface at a third data rate. Multi-rate deinterleaver circuitry deinterleaves a fourth data stream that was received via the second communication interface at the third data rate into i) a plurality of fifth data streams, each fifth data stream to be transmitted via a respective first port at the first data rate, and ii) a sixth data stream to be transmitted via the first communication interface at the second data rate.

Multi-port transceiver

A First-In-First-Out (FIFO) block to buffer a packet having a size is presented. The FIFO block includes a receiver to receive a data frame including the packet and overhead information, and to extract the packet from the data frame. A buffer has a plurality of memory locations to store the packet in a FIFO configuration. A buffer manager, in response to detecting a buffer low packet condition, stalls reads of the packet from the buffer.

Reduced latency FIFO

A device for controlling interpacket gaps in a data stream of packets. A receiver to receive the data stream of packets. A controller to monitor the data stream of packets and to selectively delete interpacket gaps. A transmit buffer to buffer packet data in the data stream of packets flowing from the controller.

Method and system for monitoring a MAC extra IPG count and adjusting the PHY transmit IPG
