Abstract
An integrated circuitincludes one or more transaction mastersfor issuing data transactions via interconnect circuitry.

The interconnect circuitry responds to the received barrier transactions by constraining a relative ordering of at least some of the data transactions as they pass through the interconnect circuitry.
