Advanced Switching Interconnect 'ASI' is a Switched Fabric
bus that uses the PCI Express interface. PCIe needs to use a PCI-to-ASI bridge to be compliant with the ASI protocol.
ASI overlays the physical and link layers of PCI Express with a new transaction layer. ASI takes the Data packet and Header packet intact from PCIe and adds an additional Header.
ASI SIG; Advanced Switching Interconnect SIG
StarGen, Inc.
{AXSys architecture, 100% compliant with the ASI, maintains backwards compatibility with PCI Express}
Xilinx
{ASI Endpoint core}
ASI Switch, PCIe to ASI bridge converters
I believe most member companies have left the ASI forum by mid 2006, so there may not be much silicon support. I read that StarGen only remaining company in the Special Interest group.
