ABSTRACT:
A transmitting device and a receiving device are coupled via a high-speed serial interface within a computer system. The transmitting device transmits a packet for a request transaction to a receiving device. The receiving device checks for error conditions. If an error condition exists and if the packet for the request transaction indicates that a completion is not expected by the transmitting device, an error message is delivered by the receiving device to the transmitting device.
