Abstract
In various embodiments, the present invention includes a method for receiving a transaction having first header information from a first peer device at a first agent of a coherent system, inserting second header information onto the transaction, and routing the transaction to a second peer device using the second header information. In one such embodiment, the first header may be a header of a first protocol and the second header may be of a different protocol that is used to tunnel the transaction through the coherent system.
