摘要 |
A communications arrangement is implemented for packet data communications control. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a communications arrangement (100), such as a PCI Express type arrangement, carries out separate arbitration functions (112, 116, 117, 118) for ordering packet data. One of the arbitration functions (112) orders the packet data in accordance with protocol standards (e.g., to meet PCI Express standards when implemented with a PCI Express system). The other arbitration function (116, 117, 118) orders the packet data in accordance with performance standards while maintaining compliance with the protocol standards.
