Representations of data before and while in the network.
- A Message is a data message generated by a server with destination towards another server. It is at application level, to inject it into the network it must be broken into packets.
- A Packet is a block of data that follows some route from its source to its destination. Its size is measured in phits.
- A Phit, or physical digit, is the smallest unit of data we represent. Specifically, if several phits are in a buffer, only one of them will be able to move out in a cycle.
Is not given a datatype to the so called flit, or flow-control digit. What is a flit is defined by the employed router.
