摘要： Method and apparatus for providing failover operation for a connection between a first PCIE bridge and a first input/output (IO) device are provided. A first set of bussed bits is exchanged between the first PCIE bridge and the first IO device over a first link using a first set of lanes of the first PCIE bridge. In response to detecting a failure in the first link, at a PCIE bridge end, the first set of lanes is swapped with a second set of lanes of the first PCIE bridge for exchanging a second set of bussed bits between the first PCIE bridge and the first IO device over a second link using the second set of lanes, the second link connecting a second PCIE bridge with a second IO device. In response to detecting the failure in the first link, at an IO device end, the first set of lanes is switched with the second set of lanes for exchanging the second set of bussed bits between the first PCIE bridge and the first IO device over the second link using the second set of lanes.

摘要： In an embodiment, a translation of a physical bus number to a hierarchical bus number is written to a south chip. The south chip receives a configuration write command that comprises a physical bus number. The south chip sends the configuration write command to a device via the bus identified by the physical bus number, and the device stores the physical bus number in the device. In response to a received message from a device that comprises the physical bus number, the south chip replaces the physical bus number in the message with the hierarchical bus number. The south chip sends the message to a north chip via a point-to-point serial link. Both the physical bus number and the hierarchical bus number identify a bus with which the device connects to a bridge in the south chip.

摘要： Dynamic switch protocols are implemented on a token bus protocol in a shared medium network to improve the basic token bus functional capabilities and link utilization, and to produce a uniform transaction protocol that supports both token bus and dynamic switch networks. Frame formats common to both token bus and dynamic switch protocols are utilized, and circuit switched protocols are superimposed on a token bus protocol in interlocked and data transmissions to establish a circuit switched path between a token holder sender node and a destination node. An initial frame transmission uses a normal link header and establishes the circuit switched path between the sender node and the destination node. Subsequent data frames contain no link header information, thereby improving transmission efficiency, and the last frame in such a transmission disconnects the switched circuit path, thereby allowing other transmissions to resume. The use of circuit switched protocols within a token bus protocol allows more general transmission sequences and improves the utilization of token bus bandwidth.
