Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and apparatus for managing transaction requests in a multi-node architecture. In one embodiment, a previously received ordered group request may be forwarded to a destination agent. Whether a next received ordered group request belongs to a same ordered group as the previously received ordered group request may be determined. Additionally, it may be determined whether an ordering fork is encountered if the next received ordered group request belongs to the same ordered group as the previously received ordered group request. If an ordering fork is encountered, it may be determined whether a request complete message for the previously received ordered group request has been received. If the request complete message for the previously received ordered group request has not been received and the next received ordered group request in the same ordered group is at least one of a un-ordered request and a forward-ordered request, then the next received ordered group request may be forwarded to the destination agent after the request complete message for the previously received at least one of a forward-ordered request and a sequential-ordered request issued on a different path at the ordering fork has been received.
