I/O configuration messaging within a link-based computing system

摘要

A method is described that comprises uses at least a portion of a configuration transaction address to perform a look-up into a memory. The configuration transaction is to perform a configuration function at an I/O Unit connected to an I/O segment within a link-based computing system. The look-up is to identify a component within the link-based computing system. The I/O segment is accessed through the component within the link-based computing system.
