Zusammenfassung:1. Field of the Invention A method of monitoring issuance of interrupt and transaction commands without involving central processor units of computer systems. The method employs a fabric controller to manage transaction commands among peer and host devices. The method employs an interrupt controller to manage interrupt commands issued by peer devices. With this method, congestion due to control and data traffic is minimized and a more efficient operation of central processor units is achieved.
