Abstract
Embodiments of a method and apparatus for aggregating Ethernet streams are generally described. According to but one example embodiment, implementations of a physical coding sublayer (PCS) modify one or more Ethernet streams to uniquely distinguish at least one of the Ethernet streams from the other Ethernet streams. Any two or more of the modified Ethernet streams may be interleaved to form an aggregate Ethernet stream. The aggregate Ethernet stream may by transmitted over a serial link.
