Abstract

In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided methods, systems, and apparatuses for enabling an agent interfacing with a pipelined backbone to locally handle transactions while obeying an ordering rule including, for example, receiving a transaction which requests access to a backbone; decoding routing destination information from the transaction received, in which the decoded routing destination information designates the transaction to be processed either locally or processed via the backbone; storing the decoded routing destination information and the transaction into a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) buffer; retrieving the decoded routing destination information and the transaction from the FIFO buffer; and processing the transaction locally or via the backbone based on the decoded routing destination information retrieved from the FIFO buffer with the transaction.
