Conventional PCI - PCI Bus Bridges

PCI Bus Bridges

The PCI standard permits multiple independent PCI buses to be connected by bus bridges that will forward operations on one bus to another when required. Although conventional PCI tends not to use many bus bridges, PCI express systems use many; each PCI express slot appears to be a separate bus, connected by a bridge to the others.

Famous quotes containing the words bus and/or bridges:

    “There was an old man from Darjeeling
    Who got on a bus bound for Ealing.
    It said at the door,
    “Please don’t spit on the floor,”
    So he carefully spat on the ceiling.”
    —Anonymous.

    “When Death to either shall come—
    I pray it be first to me.”
