1. An apparatus for facilitating error management on a point-to-point interconnect within a system, the apparatus comprising:

  • the point-to-point interconnect;

    a source of data transactions coupled to the point-to-point interconnect;

    a destination of data transactions coupled to the point-to-point interconnect;

    a transmitting mechanism at the source that is configured to transmit data transactions to the point-to-point interconnect;

    a receiving mechanism at the destination that is configured to receive data transactions from the point-to-point interconnect;

    a synchronizing mechanism that is configured to synchronize the source and destination;

    a local buffer at the source that is configured to store a copy of each data transaction that is transmitted from the source; and

    a detecting mechanism at the destination that is configured to detect a failed data transaction, wherein the detecting mechanism uses any method able to detect the failed data transaction.
