ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for inserting an address at the beginning of a data stream that is being transferred through a FIFO buffer (65). The address is inserted at the beginning of the data stream to prevent the address from being lost. An address decoder (102) is used to identify a range of addresses that can access the FIFO buffer (65). The address may also contain header information for determining the destination of the data stream in a data processing system (20), and also contain information for controlling how the data stream is to be processed in the data processing system (20).
