ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for transferring data from a first bus to a second bus. A bridge couples a first bus to a second bus. The bridge includes a buffer to store two data elements of a first packet transferred to the buffer from the first bus. The bridge also includes a controller that permits a first data element to be transferred from the buffer to the second bus. In addition, if at least a portion of a second packet has not been transferred to the bridge from the first bus, then the controller causes at least one wait state to be inserted on the second bus before transferring the second data element of the first packet from the buffer to the second bus.
