Estimating the term…
A method for recovering requests on bus protocol buffers within a network switch without disturbing data flow is disclosed. A register with multiple entries is provided within a network switch. Each entry of the register includes a LCHID. The entries of the LCHIDs within the register that need recovery can be set, for example, via a mask. A request in the network switch includes a source ID field for storing LCHID information of the request. After converting the request's LCHID information to a “one-hot” format, the request's LCHID information is then compared to the entries of LCHIDs within the register. The request is marked as a bad LCHID request if there is a match, and recovery will be suppressed for a Denied Response that is sent to a controller within the network switch. The bad LCHID request will then be cleaned up while allowing other requests to go to their respective destinations such that data flow of the network switch is not disturbed.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
A computer program product for recovering requests on bus protocol buffers within a network switch without disturbing data flow, said computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therein, said program instructions executable by a computer to cause said computer to perform:
