Layout rules about Hyperlink

Hi, 

    In thread http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/c6000_multi-core_dsps/f/639/p/120501/428783.aspx#428783  Bill attached a file regarding hyperlink routing rules. There are two rules in this document which I want to make sure. 

1 HyperLink lanes can be swapped to simplify routing. The differential pairing

must be maintained.

2 P and N connections for a single differential pair can be inverted to simplify

routing.

Does rule 1 mean I can connect Hyperlink lanes in any order? Like "

HYPERLINK_A_TX0_[P,N] <=> HYPERLINK_B_RX1_[P,N]; 

HYPERLINK_A_TX3_[P,N] <=> HYPERLINK_B_RX2_[P,N]; 

HYPERLINK_A_TX2_[P,N] <=> HYPERLINK_B_RX3_[P,N]; 

HYPERLINK_A_TX1_[P,N] <=> HYPERLINK_B_RX0_[P,N]; "

And rule 2 means I can do this "

HYPERLINK_A_TX0_[P] <=> HYPERLINK_B_RX1_[N];

HYPERLINK_A_TX0_[N] <=> HYPERLINK_B_RX1_[P];"?

B.R.
