    Optional : Packet boundaries
    • A packet is a grouping of bytes that are transmitted together across the interface
    • The signals to be considered during a packet transfer are TID, TDEST, and TLAST
    • TID Provides a stream identifier and can be used to differentiate between multiple streams
    of data that are being transferred across the same interface.
    • TDEST Provides coarse routing information for the data stream.
    The uses of TLAST are:
    • when asserted, TLAST can be used by a destination to indicate a packet boundary
    • when asserted, TLAST indicates an efficient point to make an arbitration change on a shared link.

    7
    Optional : User signaling

    • Typical uses of a streaming interface require some User sideband


    signaling.
    • To ensure a consistent method of transporting User information the
    protocol defines that User signaling is transferred on a byte basis.
    • TUSER can be used to convey information that is relevant to an entire
    transfer rather than to individual bytes.
