Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for handling transactions received after a configuration request, the method, for example, comprising: receiving a configuration change request by a transaction-handling logic block; performing a configuration change by the transaction-handling logic block in response to the configuration change request, wherein the logic block is to handle transactions received prior to receipt of the configuration change request differently than transactions received after receipt of the configuration change request; receiving, by the transaction-handling logic block, a first transaction before receiving the configuration change request; receiving, by the transaction-handling logic block, a second transaction after receiving the configuration change request and before the configuration change is complete; differentiating the first transaction from the second transaction based on the order in which the first and second transactions were received relative to receipt of the configuration change request; and handling the first and second transactions.
