Cortina White Paper:
"Interlaken Technology: New-Generation Packet Interconnect Protocol"
Mark Gustlin: Cisco Systems, Inc.
Fred Olsson: Cortina Systems, Inc.
Matt Weber: Silicon Logic Engineering, Inc.
Serial link technology has multiplied device interconnect bandwidths in advanced communications equipment. Interlaken is an interconnect protocol optimized for highbandwidth
and reliable packet transfers. It uses bundles of serial links to create a logical connection between components with multiple channels, backpressure capability, and data-integrity protection to boost the performance of communications equipment. This white paper gives an overview of Interlaken’s features and an implementation case study.
