ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for managing packetized data transfers in a system including a transmitting and a receiving device. The transmitting device may transmit data to the receiving device in a plurality of packets, each packet a predetermined number of data bytes wide. The transmitting device may include a transfer count unit to maintain a data transfer count based on a number of transmitted data bytes. The receiving device may program the transmitting device with a transfer count mark, which may be a number that corresponds to a specific count of the data transfer count. The transmitting device may calculate a difference between the data transfer count and the transfer count mark. If the difference between the transfer count and the transfer count mark is less than the predetermined number, the transmitting device may transmit a short data packet having less than the predetermined number of data bytes to the receiving device.
