Adaptive Routing for Link-Level Retry Protocol

An apparatus and method detects trapped data at an intermediate node in a network path between a source node and a destination node, and re-routes that data to a downstream intermediate node in the network path via an alternate network path. An apparatus and method may include a virtualized physical...

Zusammenfassung:An apparatus and method detects trapped data at an intermediate node in a network path between a source node and a destination node, and re-routes that data to a downstream intermediate node in the network path via an alternate network path. An apparatus and method may include a virtualized physical interface, and may redirect the trapped data through a system's packet switched network, or through a system's flit switched network.
