Abstract:
In an embodiment, a system includes rate limiter circuits corresponding to various agents that issue transactions in a virtual channel. At least one agent may be identified as a critical agent, and different rate limits (e.g., lower limits) may be selected for other agents when the critical agent is on than when the critical agent is off (e.g., higher limits).
