According to one aspect of the invention, a method is provided in which
one or more write commands and their corresponding write data are received from
a first device. The corresponding write data may be delayed by the first device
by a first delay period. The one or more write commands and their corresponding
write data are stored in a set of buffers. In response to another write command
being received from the first device, a buffered write command and its corresponding
write data are sent to a second device for execution, without waiting for the write
data corresponding to said another write command to be sent from the first device.
