At the most basic level, each physical link through the NoC is limited by the raw possible bandwidth of
a physical link, ignoring packetization overheads. Read responses have no packet header
overheads and can achieve this bandwidth. Write requests have a header flit and so need
some derating.
The following table shows the maximum operating frequency of the
NoC packet transport for each

speed grade.
