Multiple protocol tunneling using time division operations

摘要

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to multiple protocol tunneling using time division operations. An embodiment of an apparatus includes an interface for communication with a second apparatus, the interface including a shared communication link; and a multiplexer to multiplex data of each of multiple protocols into time slots for transmission, the protocols including a first protocol. The time slots are distributed among the protocols, where the distribution of the time slots among the protocols includes assigning one or more time slots to the first protocol to enable the data of the first protocol to meet one or more performance requirements for the first protocol.

1. An apparatus comprising:
an interface for communication with a second apparatus, via a time division multiplexing protocol, the interface including a shared communication link; and a multiplexer to: determine a time slot width based on both a latency requirement of a first protocol of a plurality of protocols and a maximum queuing delay imposed, in part, by traffic of other protocols of the plurality of protocols, the time slot width being a number of bits; determine an allocation of time slots among the plurality of protocols to satisfy performance requirements of the first protocol, the performance requirements including the latency requirement of the first protocol; and multiplex data of each of the plurality of protocols into time slots for transmission based on the time slot width and the allocation of time slots.
