Abstract
A data processing system includes a requester having a request queue and a recipient. The requester, which buffers a request in an entry of the request queue, transmits the request to the recipient for servicing. According to the request-and-forget protocol, the requester removes the request from the entry of the request queue without receipt of any indication that the request has been serviced.
