A system and method for reordering received frames to ensure that transfer ready (XFER_RDY) frames among the received frames are handled at higher priority, and thus with lower latency, than other frames. In one embodiment, an output that is connected to one or more devices may be allocated an additional queue specifically for XFER_RDY frames. Frames on this queue are given a higher priority than frames on the normal queue. XFER_RDY frames are added to the high priority queue, and other frames to the lower priority queue. XFER_RDY frames on the higher priority queue are forwarded before frames on the lower priority queue. In another embodiment, a single queue may be used to implement XFER_RDY reordering. In this embodiment, XFER_RDY frames to be inserted in front of other types of frames in the queue.
