4.5.1.1.1. Implementing Command Pipelining (Host-to-Agent)
The arbitration logic for the agent interface must multiplex the address, writedata, and burstcount signals. The multiplexer width increases proportionally with the number of hosts connecting to a single agent interface. The increased multiplexer width may become a timing critical path in the system. If a single pipeline bridge does not provide enough pipelining, you can instantiate multiple instances of the bridge in a tree structure to increase the pipelining and further reduce the width of the multiplexer at the agent interface.
