  • Transmission of data bursts on a constant data rate channel
    Patent number: 8185672
    Abstract: A system and method for transmitting asynchronous data bursts over a constant data rate channel that transmits a continuous stream of data with virtually no load on the CPU(s) of the receiving processing node is disclosed. The data channel has a defined frame structure with one or more data structures, wherein each data structure comprises a plurality of data locations. A receiver selects data from a fixed data location in each data structure as a data descriptor for each respective data structure. The receiver configures a direct memory access (DMA) function using each data descriptor.
