Abstract
A system and method for efficiently bridging two communication protocols. In various embodiments, a computing system includes an interconnect for routing traffic among agents and endpoints. The agents use a first communication protocol and the endpoints use a second communication protocol that differs from the first protocol with regard to at least the ordering that is enforced between transactions. A bridge selects transactions of a first type and a second type used in the first protocol for processing based on the first protocol ordering while using acknowledgments used by the second protocol.
