Abstract
A method and apparatus for communicating a plurality of commands from a first device to a second device over a data communication link coupling the first and second devices, the plurality of commands including at least a first command and a second command. The first and second commands are transmitted over the data communication link from the first device to the second device in a single data transmission such that only a single propagation delay through the data communication link is incurred in transmitting both the first and second commands over the data communication link.
