ABSTRACT:
The method of routing configuration accesses applied from the primary port to a plurality of secondary ports includes the steps of: distributing a plurality of configuration accesses received from the primary bus to the plurality of secondary ports in accordance with a predetermined algorithm, such that each of the devices on the secondary ports receives and responds to exactly a single access; and terminating configuration cycles after distributing the plurality of configuration accesses.
