Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention may provide improved handling of communication characteristics, such as burstiness, latency-sensitive applications, bandwidth-sensitive applications, etc., to improve peak performance while not compromising other characteristics, such as thermal design power of the input/output chip packages. In an embodiment, in a control circuit that may be connected to and control a data transmitter, a method of transmitting data in a network may comprise receiving at least one feed-forward signal from the data transmitter, receiving at least one feedback signal from at least a first node of the network, comparing the at least one feed-forward signal with at least one threshold or condition, comparing the at least one feedback signal with at least one threshold or condition, and generating a signal indicating that a burst transmission should be started or stopped.
