摘要： A method and apparatus for determining a gap count for a serial bus network is described. A round-trip delay time for transmitting a packet from a first leaf node to a second leaf node and back over a communication path between the nodes for each pair of leaf nodes in the network is determined. A maximum round-trip delay time for each communication path is calculated. A node latency delay time for each leaf node in the network is determined. A longest maximum round-trip delay time and a longest node latency delay time is selected for the network, and a gap count is calculated using the selected times.
