First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a transaction from a first peer device of a coherent platform at a first agent of the coherent platform, the transaction having first header information;
inserting second header information onto the transaction; and
routing the transaction through at least one other agent of the coherent platform to a second peer device of the coherent platform using the second header information.

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.
