Abstract:
A method of receiving a set of data packets which represent a contiguous block of data sent over a bus between a local node and a remote node, the method comprising the steps of:allocating memory beginning at a given address to the local node, said given address including a transaction label overlay portion; allotting said transaction label overlay portion for given addresses of said memory beginning at said given address; allocating predetermined transaction labels that correspond to said transaction label overlay portions so that the local node issues request packets with said predetermined transaction labels; the remote node sending one or more response packets to the local node, each said response packet including a transaction label that corresponds to a transaction label of a request packet; and, the local node creating a modified address by replacing a received transaction label for a transaction label overlay portion of said given address pointing to said allocated memory so that data contained in said response packet is stored at said modified address.
