Abstract
A method is provided for controllably delivering signals on a bus, wherein the bus is comprised of a first and second segment. The method comprises monitoring the first bus segment for the presence of a first signal being driven thereon. Thereafter, the first signal is repeated on the second bus segment. To prevent the repeated signal from being repeated again, the second bus segment is not monitored during the repeating phase of the operation.
