Performance monitoring decisions can be made by system software in real-time. The system software
can be programmed to routinely read the performance monitoring registers, analyze the traffic flow
patterns, and re-route accordingly to avoid congestion.
Each Serial RapidIO port in the device has a copy of the performance monitoring registers.
lists the statistic parameters that are available from the Outbound and Inbound registers, as
part of each port’s performance monitoring capabilities.
