ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and system are provided for multi-link extensions and bundle skew management. According to one embodiment, multiple parallel links between a central processing unit (CPU) and a peripheral device are combined into a single channel, and cells on the various links are received in a round-robin order, and variations in flight time between the various links are compensated through a timer at each receive port of the bundle.
