Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a layer converter that includes a proxy legacy interface that permits the layers for a legacy interconnect protocol to be recycled without any modifications, thus achieving legacy functionality alongside the new protocols' layer implementation. Put differently, the layer converter permits the layers of the legacy interconnect protocol to be reused to permit data to be transmitted on a link shared with data transmitted using a new interconnect protocol.
