  • Abstract
    In this paper, we focus on fair access to bandwidth in daisy-chained interconnects. We first analyze the original HyperTransport fairness protocol and show that it is not perfectly fair. We then propose a new, fair scheme whose complexity is similar to that of the HyperTransport protocol.
