Abstract
Disclosed are a system and method of transmitting and receiving data through a peripheral device coupled to a transmission medium. The peripheral device is coupled to a host processing system through a data bus. The peripheral device includes logic to discriminate among data cells based upon virtual channels and maintains a receive buffer for storing data cells for each virtual channel. When a buffer fills, the peripheral device transmits the data cells to a receive buffer queue associated with a virtual channel and maintained in the host processing system. The host processing system may also maintain a plurality of transmit buffer queues for storing data cells for transmission in virtual channels. The peripheral device may also comprise logic for scheduling data cells in the transmit buffer queues for transmission according a quality of service (QoS) associated with one or more virtual channels.
