We propose a scalable parallel interface that provides an ideal aggregated bandwidth link for an application. The scalable parallel interface uses time information to align packets and allows dynamic lane and/or path change, a large difference in transmission delays among lanes, and so on. The basic performance of the scalable parallel interface in 10Gb/s × 2 lanes is verified using an estimation board that is newly developed to evaluate the basic functions used in a Terabit LAN. The evaluation shows that the scalable parallel interface achieves a very low delay variation that is almost the same as that under back-to-back conditions. The difference in the delay variation between the scalable parallel interface and the back-to-back condition is approximately 10ns when the transmission delay time varies from 10µs to 1s.
