Принадлежит: Arteris Inc

A system and method for soft locking for a networking device in a network, such as a network-on-chip (NoC). Once a soft lock is established, the port and packet are given transmitting priority so long has the port has an available packet or packet parts that can make forward progress in the network. When the soft lock port's packet parts are not available, the networking device may choose another port and/or another packet. Any arbitration scheme may be used. Once the packet (or all the packet parts) has completed transmission, the soft lock is released.
