ABSTRACT:
A method and system for providing arbitration within a ringlet-type interconnect of a computer system are described. By providing different arbitration values as part of out-of-band information and introducing asymmetry at a scrubber node, fair allocation of interconnect bandwidth is achieved. The number of arbitration values can be extended from a basic set to provide additional functionality to handle specialized traffic situations.
