Abstract
An integrated circuit comprising a plurality of functional modules and interconnected via a packet router for conveying request and response packets is described. Transactions involve the dispatch of request packets and receipt of corresponding response packets. Each packet conveys a number of transaction attributes which can control how the packet is managed by control circuitry which controls the flow of packets on the packet router. For example the transaction attributes can include a transaction number, a grouping indicator, a priority indicator and a post indicator.
