<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 />
