    Abstract: The present disclosure advantageously provides a method and system for transferring data over at least one interconnect. A request node, coupled to an interconnect, receives a first write burst from a first device over a first connection, divides the first write burst into an ordered sequence of smaller write requests based on the size of the first write burst, and sends the ordered sequence of write requests to a home node coupled to the interconnect. The home node generates an ordered sequence of write transactions based on the ordered sequence of write requests, and sends the ordered sequence of write transactions to a write combiner coupled to the home node. The write combiner combines the ordered sequence of write transactions into a second write burst that is the same size as the first write burst, and sends the second write burst to a second device over a second connection.
