18. A method of data communication on a communication link coupling a first integrated circuit to a second integrated circuit arranged on an interposer, the method comprising:
using a parallel flit interface, receiving a first parallel data and control packet from a communication network;
using a multiplexer coupled to the parallel flit interface, converting the first parallel data and control packet to a first serial data and control packet comprising a first plurality of serial flits;
using a transmitter coupled to a communication link, sequentially transmitting the first plurality of serial flits over the communication link;
using a receiver coupled to the communication link, receiving a second plurality of serial flits of a second serial data and control packet; and
using a demultiplexer coupled to the parallel flit interface and to the receiver, converting the second plurality of serial flits to a second parallel data and control packet for transmission on the communication network;
wherein the first and second parallel data and control packets each comprise at least one flit having an ordered plurality of fields.
