Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method for distributing data over a chip-to-chip interconnect (CCI), comprising:
at a request node of a coherent interconnect (CHI) of a first chip, the CHI having a coherent protocol:
receiving at least one peripheral component interface express (PCIe) transaction from a PCIe master device, each PCIe transaction including a stream identifier of the PCIe transaction;
for each PCIe transaction, selecting a CCI port of the CHI based on the stream identifier of the PCIe transaction, in accordance with PCIe ordering rules; and
sending the PCIe transaction to the selected CCI port using a PCIe protocol that is not the coherent protocol of the CHI.
