Abstract
The disclosed embodiments relate to an apparatus and method for acknowledging a data transfer. The first protocol may generate a request for a data transfer. The second protocol may receive the request for a data transfer from the first protocol. With the request, the second protocol may determine if the request for the data transfer contains a request for acknowledgement of completion of the data transfer. The second protocol may send a request corresponding to the request for data transfer to a third protocol. If the request for data transfer does contain a request for acknowledgement of completion of the data transfer, then the second protocol may set a variable in memory to wait for an event to correspond to the completion of the request and send an acknowledgement to the first protocol upon the occurrence of the event.
