Patent attributes
A transaction ordering system is configured to order various transactions initiated by one device for execution with another device. The transaction ordering system includes ordering circuitry that is configured to generate two pointer values such that one pointer value corresponds to a transaction identifier (ID) of a transaction that is to be processed, and another pointer value corresponds to a transaction ID of a latest initiated transaction. Based on the two pointer values, the ordering circuitry orders the transactions such that if a first transaction is initiated before a second transaction, a set of data packets associated with the first transaction is transmitted to the transaction initiating device before a set of data packets associated with the second transaction is transmitted.
