4.2.2. Multisegments
Multisegments in the GTS Interlaken Intel® FPGA IP enable you to better use the transmit and receive bandwidth. For package sizes smaller than the user data width, this feature becomes important to provide better bandwidth efficiency.
Figure 13. Interlaken Protocol Layer (MAC)- TX and RX Block Diagram
The user data interface block contains the multisegment blocks, TX and RX regroup. In the TX direction, the TX regroup inserts necessary control words based on the user interface control information before sending downstream for further processing. In the RX direction, the control words of the data received from the striper is stripped off to generate the user data and the extracted control word generates the user interface information.
