Abstract

In one embodiment of the present invention, a method may include separating incoming transactions to an agent of a coherent system into at least a first channel, a second channel, and a third channel, based upon a type of the incoming transactions. The incoming transactions may be sent by a peer device coupled to the coherent system. By separating the transactions based on type, deadlocks may be avoided.
