    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a dynamic data interconnect and networking cable configuration. The dynamic data interconnect includes a substrate, transmitters supported on the substrate configured to generate signals, and receivers supported on the substrate configured to receive signals. The dynamic data interconnect further includes a number of connection pads that receive data cables attached thereto and a number of transmission lanes that operably couple the transmitters and receivers to the connection pads. The dynamic data interconnect further includes transmission circuitry in communication with each of the transmitters and receivers such that, in an operational configuration, the transmission circuitry determines a transmission state of the dynamic data interconnect and selectively disables operation of at least a portion of the transmitters or at least a portion of the receivers.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device includes frequency generation circuitry configured to generate a clock signal, a phase-locked loop (PLL) configured to generate a local clock based on the clock signal, a receiver configured to receive a data stream from a remote clock source and recover a remote clock from the data stream, and a controller configured to find a clock differential between the local clock and the remote clock identified as a master dock, and provide a control signal to the frequency generation circuitry responsively to the clock differential, which causes the frequency generation circuitry to adjust the clock signal so as to iteratively reduce an absolute value of the clock differential between the local clock and the remote clock identified as the master clock so that the local clock generated by the PLL is synchronized with the master clock.

    Abstract: A communication system is described, among other things. An illustrative system is disclosed to include one or more decoding circuits to perform forward error correction for a received data block in a physical layer and one or more cyclic redundancy check circuits to perform a cyclic redundancy check based on a first output of the decoding circuits and a cyclic redundancy check code generated in the physical layer based on the received data block. In response to one or more of a second output of the decoding circuits and an output of the cyclic redundancy check circuits, a retransmission request of the data block is initiated.

    Abstract: A method for communication includes, in a sender node that sends packets to a receiver node over a physical link, making a decision, for a packet that is associated with a respective virtual link selected from among multiple virtual links, whether the receiver node is to buffer the packet in a dedicated buffer assigned to the respective virtual link or in a shared buffer that is shared among the multiple virtual links. The packet is sent, and the decision is signaled, from the sender node to the receiver node.
