Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for connecting PCI-ordered agents based on fully independent networks. The system and method are free of PCI topology constraints, so that the system and method can be implemented in an inexpensive and scalable way. The method disclosed is used to handle and transport PCI-ordered traffic on a fabric. Based on the actual ordering requirement of the set of PCI agents, the fabric includes two, three, or four independent networks.
