Descrição

High Speed Interconnect (HSI) systems are essential in order to transport the large amount of data generated by the detectors, to storage devices in high energy physics experiments. The integration of a new packet fragmentation mechanism on the S-Link to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter will permit not only the physical interconnection between involved interfaces, but also the conversion of data formats and transmission protocols. This paper presents and discusses simulation results of the S-Link to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, with and without the new packet fragmentation mechanism, based on the data format adopted in the LHCb experiment.
