ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for storing retrievable boundary information into a buffer memory of a receiving device. In one arrangement, the boundary information is used to indicate where a block of data ends in the buffer memory. In another arrangement, the boundary information is used to indicate where a burst begins and ends in the buffer memory. This is accomplished by the use of boundary indicators and following a set of organization rules as data and boundary indicators are written into the buffer memory. As a result, during a later buffer read operation the data and the boundary information can be retrieved and identified.
