Abstract
A request is received over a link that requests a particular line in memory. A directory state record is identified in memory that identifies a directory state of the particular line. A type of the request is identified from the request. It is determined that the directory state of the particular line is to change from the particular state to a new state based on the directory state of the particular line and the type of the request. The directory state record is changed, in response to receipt of the request, to reflect the new state. A copy of the particular line is sent in response to the request.
