PROTOCOL FOR READ AND WRITE TRANSFERS

摘要

A process for transferring information including a source or destination address between two nodes in a network via data switching logic. The switching logic must decode commands and addresses in order to adopt the proper configuration so that the command and addresses can be forwarded from one system resource to another system resource. A read or write address is transmitted to the switching logic and decoded in order to configure the switching logic. The same read or write address is then retransmitted to the switching logic for forwarding to the appropriate system resource. As a result, there is no need for extra storage logic in order to retain read and write addresses while the switching logic is being configured.
