Hello , i would like to ask what is the difference between the MOSI
broadcast-based 1level snooping protocol and MOSI_SMP_bcast_dir, is the
second a directory based protocol (does it keep state in one node which is
responsible for the broacasts and possible the ACK's/NACK's)?.
Also why is it included in the same .slicc as MOSI_SMP_bcast_1level.slicc.
Does the snooping protocoll use it?

And one last question: Why the MOSI bcast-based snooping protocol is named
1level?

Thank you!
Dimitris Tsaliagos
