Abstract: Systems and method are disclosed for providing responses for different cache coherency protocols. One embodiment may comprise a system that includes a first node employing a first cache coherency protocol. A detector associated with the first node detects a condition based on responses provided by the first node to requests provided according to a second cache coherency protocol, the second cache coherency protocol being different from the first cache coherency protocol. The first node provides a response to a given one of the requests to the first node that varies based on the condition detected by the detector.
