MANAGING SIDEBAND ROUTERS IN ON-DIE SYSTEM FABRIC

摘要

Methods and apparatus for managing sideband routers in an On-Die System Fabric (OSF) are described. In one embodiment, a sideband OSF router is configurable during runtime based, at least in part, on information stored in a table accessible by an agent coupled to the sideband OSF router. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
