Abstract
A method for reserving an isochronous resource over a link between a first bus and a second bus, the link including a first interface device connected to the first bus and a second interface device connected to the second bus. The reservation of the resources over the link is transparent to the devices connected to the busses. The method includes, at the level of the interface devices, intercepting the connection set up messages sent by the devices connected to the busses, checking whether a source device and a sink device for which the set-up message has been intercepted are on different busses, and in the affirmative, reserving resources for the connection over the link.
