A computer system (100) includes a monolithic VMEbus backplane (104) and a VME bridge module (102) integrally embedded in the VMEbus backplane. The VME bridge module segments the monolithic VMEbus backplane into the plurality of VME backplane segments. A data signal (115) communicated from one of the plurality of VME backplane segments to another one of the VME backplane segments by the VME bridge module, where the data signal is regenerated by the VME bridge module.

A method of performing a VMEbus split-read transaction (401) includes providing a master VMEbus module (102) coupled to a slave VMEbus module (104) through a VMEbus network (106). The master VMEbus module initiates a VMEbus split-read transaction request (124) in a VME address encoding phase (201) to the slave VMEbus module, where the VMEbus split-read transaction request includes a tag identifier (206, 306) in the VMEbus address encoding phase corresponding to the VMEbus split-read transaction request, where the tag identifier is unique to the VMEbus split-read transaction request, and where the VMEbus split-read transaction request requests a set of data (144). The master VMEbus module releases the VMEbus network and the slave VMEbus module acquires the VMEbus network. The slave VMEbus module places the set of data on the VMEbus network, wherein the set of data includes the tag identifier. The master VMEbus module correlates the tag identifier to the split-transaction request and the master VMEbus module retrieves the set of data.

A VXS multi-service platform system (200) includes a VXS computer chassis (103), a monolithic backplane (102) in the VXS computer chassis, a VMEbus network (108) on the monolithic backplane, and a switched fabric (110) operating coincident with the VMEbus network on the monolithic backplane. A front module (105) is coupled to a front portion (104) of the monolithic backplane. A rear transition module (118, 120) is coupled to a rear portion (106) of the monolithic backplane, where the rear transition module is substantially coplanar with the front module. A switched fabric link (260, 360) extends from the front module through the monolithic backplane to the rear transition module, where the switched fabric link operates using a switched fabric protocol (270, 370). An RTM bridging unit (280, 380) is included on the rear transition module, where the switched fabric link terminates at the RTM bridging unit, where the RTM bridging unit bridges the switched fabric protocol to an external link (262, 362) operating an external I/O protocol (282, 382), where the external I/O protocol transfers data at least an order of magnitude slower than the switched fabric protocol, and where the external link extends outside of the VXS computer chassis from the rear transition module.

A method of performing a VMEbus split-read transaction (701) includes providing a master VMEbus module (502) coupled to a slave VMEbus module (504) through a VMEbus network (506). The master VMEbus module initiates a VMEbus split-read transaction request (524) in a VME address encoding phase (601) to the slave VMEbus module, where the VMEbus split-read transaction request comprises a return address (660) for the VMEbus master module in the VMEbus address encoding phase, and where the VMEbus split-read transaction request requests a set of data (544). The master VMEbus module releases the VMEbus network and the slave VMEbus module acquires the VMEbus network. The slave VMEbus module places the set of data on the VMEbus network, where the set of data comprises the return address for the VMEbus master module, and the master VMEbus module retrieves the set of data.

In a multi-service platform system (103), a method of transfer speed (119) negotiation includes an initiator VME module (402) communicating a negotiation code (406) to a responder VME module (404) using a two edge source synchronous protocol. If the responder VME module recognizes the negotiation code, the responder VME module communicating to the initiator VME module a negotiation ready signal (408). The initiator VME module and the responder VME module auto-negotiating for a transfer speed (119) and setting a negotiated transfer speed between the initiator VME module and the responder VME module.

In a computer network (100), a method transporting a PCI Express packet (235) from an initiator PCI Express node (202) over an IP packet network (210) to a receiver PCI Express node (204), can include the initiator PCI Express node creating the PCI Express packet and reading a global PCI Express destination address (352) of the PCI Express packet. The initiator PCI Express node can map the global PCI Express destination address to a receiver PCI Express node IP address (242). The PCI Express packet can be encapsulated in an IP packet (236). The IP packet with the encapsulated PCI Express packet can be communicated over an IP packet network (210) to receiver PCI Express node.

The VMEbus destination address can be mapped to a responder VMEbus domain IP address and the VMEbus transfer encapsulated in an IP packet (236). The IP packet can be communicated to the responder VMEbus domain over the IP packet network.
