<strong>PCIe</strong> Processing and Priorities<br />
n<br />
<strong>PCIe</strong> is based on the same bridge processing<br />
rules and adds the capability to ‘differentiate’<br />
transactions in several ways<br />
l<br />
Differentiation provided by a ‘Traffic Class’ or TC label in a<br />
<strong>PCIe</strong> packet<br />
– TC’s are assigned to ‘Virtual Channels’ or VCs<br />
– Bridge buffer space and control logic must be provided for<br />
each VC assigned in the system<br />
n<br />
Arbitration is based on P-P bridge processing<br />
and ordering rules on a per VC basis<br />
l<br />
Arbitration on one VC is independent of arbitration on any<br />
other VC<br />
