1. A method comprising:

  • providing a stream of electronic digital data having a quantity (n) of bits of parallel data transmitted electronically at a first clock rate (R1), the quantity (n) being greater than or equal to 2;

    transforming the stream of electronic digital data in at least one loss-less compression operation into a first stream of electronic serial data that is electronically transmitted at a second clock rate (R2), wherein (R2)=(R1

    (n), the stream of electronic digital data being transformed without formatting the data for use with a protocol;

    transmitting the data in a serial stream over a link;

    converting the data transmitted over the link in a serial stream in at least one loss-less de-compression operation into an output stream of electronic digital data having the quantity (n) of bits of parallel data transmitted electronically at the first clock rate (R1);

    transforming the first stream of electronic digital data into an intermediate stream of electronic digital data having a quantity (m) of bits of parallel data transmitted electronically at an intermediate clock rate (Ri), wherein (n)<

    (m)≦

    2 and (m) is a factor of (n); and

    transforming the intermediate stream of electronic digital data into the first stream of electronic serial data.
