Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: a transmitter transmitting variable length packets of data using a credit based flow control protocol; an input-output (I/O) interface coupled to the transmitter; and logic to split data for transmission into a plurality of packets, wherein each packet is stored in a transmitter buffer and then transmitted via the I/O interface to a receiver through a wired apparatus, wherein the logic varies a number of packets sent prior to the apparatus receiving an Acknowledgement (ACK) signal and return credits, wherein the logic varies a packet length of the number of packets, wherein the logic is operable to analyze parameters associated with the transmitter to determine the number of packets to generate from the splitting of the data that eliminates a time of waiting for the return credits; wherein the logic is operable to adaptively split data for transmission into the plurality of packets responsive to changes in the values of the parameters, wherein the parameters include: wherein the receiver receives the plurality of packets using a fixed size buffer.
