Abstract

A method includes setting a contention scheme for an asynchronous bus such that the contention delay of isochronous transactions on the bus is bounded, and establishing an isochronous interface between at least two devices, the isochronous interface supporting an X-T contract. A number of isochronous transactions and corresponding return transactions delivered across the bus is measured during a specified time interval.
