Abstract
A method for coordinating descriptor lists updates between a host computer and a client computer, where the host and the client each maintain respective descriptor lists of bus controller commands. The client computer has a bus controller that changes its descriptor list. The host computer receives from the client computer update commands that, when executed, change the host's descriptor lists in substantially the same manner in which the bus controller changes the descriptor lists on the host computer.
