1.1. GTS Interlaken IP Features

General features

  • Compliant with the Interlaken Protocol Specification, Revision 1.2.
  • Compliant with the Interlaken Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (RS-FEC) Extension Specification, Revision 1.1.
  • Support for 4, 6, and 8 serial lanes in configurations that provide up to 206.25 Gbps raw bandwidth. Refer to IP Supported Combinations of Number of Lanes and Data Rates for more details on supported configurations.
  • Support for per-lane data rates of 6.25, 12.5 and 25.78125 Gbps using the Intel FPGA on-chip high-speed transceivers.

User interface features

  • Dynamically configurable BurstMax and BurstMin values.
  • Packet mode and interleaved mode for user data transfer.
  • Up to 256 logical channels in out-of-the-box configuration.
  • Multisegment user interface.

Flow-control features

  • Optional out-of-band flow control blocks.
  • Optional user-controlled in-band flow control with 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 16-bit calendar pages.
  • Error correction code (ECC) for memory block implementation with the IP.

Line-side features

  • Per lane data rates of 6.25, 12.5, and 25.78125 Gbps using non-return-to-zero (NRZ) mode.
