ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are disclosed for interaction between different cache coherency protocols. One system may comprise a home node that receives a request for data from a first node in a first cache coherency protocol. A second node provides a conflict response to a request for the data from the home node. The conflict response indicates that an ordering point for the data is migrating according to a second cache coherency protocol, which is different from the first cache coherency protocol.
