Abstract
One embodiment of an apparatus for communicating routing and attribute information for a transaction between hubs in a computer system is disclosed. The apparatus includes a data path input/output unit to output a packet header for a transaction. The packet header includes a transaction descriptor routing field to identify an initiating agent that initiated the transaction. The transaction descriptor routing field includes a hub identification portion and a pipe identification portion. The hub identification portion identifies a hub that contains the initiating agent. The pipe identification portion further identifies the initiating agent within the identified hub if the transaction has no ordering requirements with respect to a second agent in the identified hub.
