Abstract
A system and method for sending device specific data in a bus transaction. A device configurable field is preallocated in a packet sent by the sending device to a receiving device. The sending device can configure the data to be stored in the device configurable field. Upon receipt of the packet, the receiving device generates a response packet in which the contents of the device configurable field is simply copied into a corresponding field in the response packet.
