Abstract
Connection ports for interconnecting functional modules in an integrated circuit are described. The connection ports provide enhanced functionality based around a common port primitive. This simplifies port design and selection and also allows a common packet protocol to be used for communication of packets across the packet router. In particular, there is improved functionality of target ports which allow out of order requests to be dealt with and out of order responses to be generated.
