Abstract
Systems and methods for handling a loss of message boundary in a real-time data transmission over an interconnect between a source node and a destination node are described. The destination node receives messages including one or more data frames. Each data frame includes an end-of-message flag, which is set when the data frame is last frame of a message, and a message sequence number, which is different for different messages. The destination node determines a loss of message boundary when a new data frame has a message sequence number different from the message sequence number of a previously received message, which did not have the end-of-message flag set. The destination node then transmits a synchronization loss message to the source node, and receives, as response, a status report message. The destination node is able to regain synchronization by determining a lost message boundary according to the status report message.
