Abstract:
A spanning tree is assigned to a processing node for each processing node in a point-to-point network that connects a plurality of processing nodes. The spanning tree uses the processing nodes as vertices and links of the network as edges. Each processing node includes input snoop ports that can be configured as either terminating or forwarding. According to the assigned spanning trees and the configuration of the input snoop ports, the network routes snoop messages efficiently and without conflicts.
