Abstract

A system and apparatus for time multiplexing of multi-domain transactions is provided. A computer system may include multiple domains of clients where the domains share common physical links. The bandwidth on a physical link may be divided between the domains that use that link such that a domain may only convey and receive transactions specific to that domain during the time period allocated to it on that physical link. A counter may be used to partition the bandwidth of a physical link between the domains that use that physical link.
