Abstract
A multi-lane data communication link, such as a PCIe link, may be configured as virtual links. Each virtual link may correspond to a unique subset of the lanes. Data packets provided by multiple virtual machines and associated virtual functions may be buffered in transmit queues. Each transmit queue may correspond to a unique one of the virtual links. The data may be provided from each of the transmit queues to data transmitting circuitry coupled to active lanes.
