    Abstract: A device to process data packets for communication across PHY layers which are of different respective communication protocols. In an embodiment, the device includes a first protocol stack and a second protocol stack which are each for a PCIe™ communication protocol. The first protocol stack and a second protocol stack may interface, respectively, with a first physical (PHY) layer and a second PHY layer of the device. The first protocol stack and the second protocol stack may exchange packets to facilitate communications via both the first PHY layer and the second PHY layer. In another embodiment, the first PHY layer is for communication according to the PCIe™ communication protocol and the second PHY layer is for communication according to another, comparatively low power communication protocol.

    Abstract translation: 用于处理数据分组以用于通过不同相应通信协议的PHY层进行通信的设备。 在一个实施例中,该设备包括第一协议栈和第二协议栈,它们各自用于PCIe TM通信协议。 第一协议栈和第二协议栈可分别与设备的第一物理(PHY)层和第二PHY层接口。 第一协议栈和第二协议栈可以交换分组以促进通过第一PHY层和第二PHY层的通信。 在另一个实施例中,第一PHY层用于根据PCIe TM通信协议进行通信,第二PHY层用于根据另一种较低功率通信协议进行通信。
