2.8. FUTURE EXTENSIONS

RapidIO is partitioned to support future protocol extensions. This can be done at the user level through the application of user definable transaction format types, or through future or reserved fields. RapidIO is architected so that switch fabric devices do not need to interpret packets as they flow through, making future forward compatibility much easier to achieve.
