Anything's possible. But Ruby is not set up to allow multiple physical networks. It would take a fair amount of effort, in my opinion. (I've thought about it, but never tried it.)

Then, is it possible for me to add a network for data? I think if the
data network has no order, it should be correct to transfer them
directly from cache to cache, right? Will this improve the performance
of the protocol? Thanks!
There is no separate data network. All messages travel across a single
physical network (though there are separate virtual networks for
different message types). ...Greg

Hi! I have a question about the data transfer in the MOSI_SMP_bcast
protocol. I know the address network is totally ordered and the tool
uses a hierarchical switch to mimic the snooping bus. But I didn't
find how the data is transferred. Since the data network is not
ordered, I guess it doesn't need to go though the hierarchical
switch. However, I didn't find evidence in the code. Could someone
tell me how the data network looks like? Thanks.
