In one embodiment, an interconnect device (e.g., a switch) includes an interface operably coupled to an interconnect logic capable of reducing inter-packet gaps in packet -based input/output communications. Based on, at least in part, a packet attribute associated with an inbound packet, the interconnect logic may determine an indication of transfer grant which may be issued in conjunction with a packet relay request, sending packet attribute information in advance of the packet attribute.
