A plurality of units which are coupled to transfer requests, transfer data over an asynchronous bus network during allocated bus transfer cycles. The network has a tie-breaking bus priority network which is distributed to a common interface portion of each of the plurality of units and grants bus cycles and resolves simultaneous requests on a priority basis. At least one unit includes bus saturation detection apparatus included within its common interface portion for monitoring bus activity over established intervals of time. The detection of the occurrence of at least one available cycle over the given interval of time signals that the bus network is not in a saturated state. When the indicator specifies that the bus network is saturated, the unit throttles down its operation by increasing the amount of time between issuing data requests. Throttling continues until the bus is no longer being saturated.

Un certain nombre d'unités couplées pour transférer des demandes, des données sur un réseau à bus asynchrone durant des cycles de transfert de bus alloués. Le réseau comprend un réseau d'arbitrage de priorité de bus, qui est distribué sur une partie d'interface commune de chacune desdites unités et qui alloue les cycles de bus et règle les demandes simultanées en fonction de priorités. Au moins une unité comprend un dispositif de détection de saturation de bus, compris dans sa partie d'interface commune, afin de contrôler l'activité des bus sur des intervalles de temps établis. La détection de l'occurrence d'au moins un cycle disponible pendant l'intervalle donné indique que le réseau de bus n'est pas saturé. Lorsque l'indicateur indique que le réseau à bus est saturé, l'unité réduit son régime de fonctionnement en prolongeant les intervalles entre les demandes de données. La réduction du régime se poursuit jusqu'à ce que le bus ne soit plus saturé.
