Abstract
A method and device for tracking a bus transaction between first and second agents coupled to a bus includes issuing a request for the transaction by the first agent, storing information regarding the transaction in a buffer, and deleting the information regarding the transaction from the buffer if the first agent receives an indication that the second agent will not issue a retry.
