Serial Front Panel Data Port
[ANSI/VITA 17.1](Serial FPDP or SFPDP) is a high speed low latency
data stream
In connection-oriented communication, a data stream is the transmission of a sequence of digitally encoded coherent signals to convey information. Typically, the transmitted symbols are grouped into a series of packets.
