Abstract: A method for accessing a configuration space of a device is described. The method includes setting a first field of a packet to a value to specify a destination device, and setting a second field of the packet to a defined value to indicate that the packet is a configuration access packet. The method further includes setting a third field of the configuration access packet to a value to select one of a plurality of configuration apertures of a configuration space of the destination device, and setting a fourth field of the configuration access packet to a value to address a specific memory location within the selected aperture.

Abstract: A queuing mechanism is described for managing packets between agents of a computer system. The queuing mechanism includes an ordered queue including a plurality of queue registers to store a plurality of packets. The queuing mechanism also includes a bypass queue coupled to the ordered queue, wherein, if a packet at head of the ordered queue is a delayed request and is stalled for lack of flow control credit, then the stalled packet is moved into the bypass queue.

Abstract: A switching fabric handles transactions using a protocol that directs packets based on path routing information. Components participate in transactions using a protocol that issues packets based on physical location of a destination device over the switching fabric, by establishing a virtual link partner relationship between the components.
