Transfer Size
The concept of sending data in bursts is used to support high data rates
with a minimal amount of resources. A parameter called transfer size
defines the granularity of the data burst. Data transfers are required to be
sent contiguously until the end-of-packet or a multiple of the transfer
size. Shorter packets are padded with idle characters until a multiple of
the transfer size is reached. Control sequences, such as the clock
compensation sequence and link management packets, should not
interrupt the data transfer until the next multiple of the transfer size. Any
number of control characters can be sent between data transfers.
