OUTBOUND
Outbound Acknowledge ID
Next ackID to be transmitted by the port. Software can write this
field to force re-transmission of outstanding unacknowledged
packets, in order to manually implement error recovery.
If an error or retry occurs on the inbound while the write to this
register is being processed, the OUTBOUND value is not used for
the next packet transmitted. The new OUTBOUND value is
always used when the port is operating normally, and when the
port is in an error state.
The OUTBOUND field may only be written when there are no
packets outstanding in the transmit queue, and no packets are
being exchanged with a link partner.
Caution: Changing the OUTBOUND field when there are packets
being exchanged with a link partner results in non-deterministic
ackID values. It is likely that a fatal error due to ackID mismatch
will result.
