HiGig is a proprietary protocol that is implemented by Broadcom. The HiGig protocol supports various switching functions like Quality-of-Service (QoS), link aggregation, and others. The physical signaling across the interface is XAUI, four differential pairs for receive and transmit (SERDES), each operating at 3.125 Gbit/s. HiGig+ is a higher rate version of HiGig.
