摘要： In one embodiment, a method may include, if an amount of data requested to be transferred by a data transfer request according to a first protocol exceeds a maximum data transfer amount permitted to be requested by a single data transfer request according to a second protocol, generating one data transfer request according to the second protocol and a data structure, and modifying, at least in part, another data structure. This data transfer request may request transfer of a portion of the data. The data structure may include one or more values identifying, at least in part, another portion of the data. The modifying may be based, at least in part, upon the one or more values. The other data structure may include, prior to being modified, one or more other values indicating, at least in part, one or more parameters of the one data transfer request.

摘要： One embodiment of a method may include, in response, at least in part, to one or more received frames, generating an interrupt and preventing transmission of one or more other frames. The one or more received frames may indicate, at least in part, an error condition or a commencement of a data transfer. The method of this embodiment also may include, in response, at least in part, to the interrupt, executing one or more instructions. The one or more instructions, when executed, may optionally result in deleting the one or more other frames, and if the one or more received frames indicate, at least in part, the error condition, commencing recovery from the error condition. If the one or more received frames indicate, at least in part, the commencement of the data transfer, the method of the embodiment may include storing data associated with the data transfer.

摘要： A method and apparatus to guarantee unique connection tags across resets in a connection protocol. In one embodiment, the methods include the update of a reset counter following a system reset. In one embodiment, once updated, a controller, such as, for example, an input/output (I/O) controller, may receive a response from a target device to an I/O request that was issued to the target device prior to system reset. In one embodiment, the I/O controller may determine a reset counter value associated with the received response. If the received response includes a reset counter value that does not match a local reset counter held by the I/O controller, the I/O controller may disregard the received response. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： In one embodiment, if the amount of data requested by a data transfer request according to a first protocol exceeds a maximum permitted for a single data transfer request according to a second protocol, a data structure and one data transfer request according to the second protocol may be generated. The request may request a portion of the data. If a target of the request is capable of receiving, prior to completion of performance of the request, another data transfer request according to the second protocol, the another data transfer request may be generated, based upon the at least one value, and the data structure may be modified. The another data transfer request may request at least some of the another portion of the data. The data structure, as modified, may comprise at least one value indicating that the target has not completed performing the another data transfer request.

摘要翻译： 在一个实施例中，如果根据第一协议的数据传输请求所请求的数据量超过根据第二协议的单个数据传输请求所允许的最大值，则根据第二协议的数据结构和一个数据传输请求可以 生成。 请求可以请求数据的一部分。 如果请求的目标能够在完成执行请求之前接收根据第二协议的另一个数据传输请求，则可以基于该至少一个值生成另一个数据传输请求，并且数据 结构可能会被修改。 另一数据传输请求可以请求数据的另一部分中的至少一些。 经修改的数据结构可以包括指示目标尚未完成执行另一数据传输请求的至少一个值。

摘要： Provided are a method, system, and program for processing a transmission from a first device to a second device. An identification transmission is received including an interface address from the first device. A determination is made as to whether the identification transmission indicates a recognized vendor identifier. An interface address of a third device is returned to the first device in response to determining that the identification transmission includes one recognized vendor identifier, wherein the third device relays transmissions between the first and second devices.
