Abstract
A data processing apparatus is provided, which includes receiving circuitry to receive a snoop request in respect of requested data on behalf of a requesting node. The snoop request includes an indication as to whether forwarding is to occur. Transmitting circuitry transmits a response to the snoop request and cache circuitry caches at least one data value. When forwarding is to occur and the at least one data value includes the requested data, the response includes the requested data and the transmitting circuitry transmits the response to the requesting node.
