Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: a receiver to receive a read request from a host device; a transmitter to send data from a memory buffer device to a host device over a link, wherein the data is responsive to the read request and is to be further processed by the host device before being forwarded to another device; an error detector to determine an error in the data, wherein the error is determined after at least a portion of the data is sent from the memory buffer device to the host device; and transaction cancellation logic to send a read response cancellation signal to the host device to indicate the error to the host device, wherein the read response cancellation signal is to be sent subsequent to at least a portion of the data being sent from the memory buffer device to the host device, and the read response cancellation signal is to cancel further transmission of the data by the host device while not halting operation of the host device.
