Abstract
A method and system for balancing loads of a plurality of bus lanes of a snooping-based bus. The system includes: a receiver for receiving snoop transactions from the bus lanes, each of the snoop transactions having a snoop request and at least one snoop response, an analyzer for analyzing respective actual and expected loads of each of the bus lanes dependent on the received snoop transactions, and a controller for providing a next snoop request from a number of outstanding snoop requests to a buffer allocated to the system, where the buffer is dependent on the analyzed loads of the bus lanes.
