The disclosure includes systems and methods for bus control. A method comprises receiving a data exchange request, wherein the data exchange request includes a data exchange tag that identifies a data exchange, splitting the data exchange into a plurality of fractional data transactions, providing one or more bus commands to a system bus, receiving, at the bus controller, one or more acceptance notifications indicating that the one or more of the plurality have been accepted by the system bus, assigning transaction identifiers (TIDs) corresponding to the one or more of the plurality of fractional data transactions, receiving one or more completion notifications indicating that the one or more of the plurality have been completed, determining that each of the plurality of fractional data transactions associated with the data exchange tag have been completed, and notifying the processor that the requested data exchange has been completed.

A method of and apparatus for communicating between a host and an agent. The method includes the step of performing a first transaction between a host controller and a hub. The hub is operable to perform a single transaction with an agent based on the first transaction. The method then includes the step of performing a second transaction between the host controller and the hub. The second transaction is based on the single transaction.
