Abstract
A method and system for packet-switched flow control of transaction requests that maximizes resource utilization and throughput, and minimizes latency. A system controller provides dedicated transaction request queues and controls the forwarding of transactions from a processor to a slave. The transaction requests are automatically forwarded to an intended slave on the same address bus as the system controller immediately. The system controller determines whether the proper criteria are met for that slave to receive such a request, such as the slave's request receive queue is not full and that global ordering requirements are met. If so, then on a separately provided line, the system controller validates the request for immediate reception by the slave.
