1. An electronic network system comprising:
a first transmitter circuit that transmits first bits;
a second transmitter circuit that transmits second bits; and
a port select circuit comprising a first buffer circuit that stores first words in a first packet of the first bits received from the first transmitter circuit, a second buffer circuit that stores second words in a second packet of the second bits received from the second transmitter circuit, and a multiplexer circuit that receives the first words from the first buffer circuit and the second words from the second buffer circuit, wherein the multiplexer circuit interleaves the second words with the first words in a first output signal such that a first one of the second words in the second packet is provided in the first output signal after a first one of the first words in the first packet and before a second one of the first words in the first packet.
