Certain aspects of an apparatus and method for interconnection may include an interconnection section, a request processing section and a response processing section. The interconnection section may be configured to transfer a request from a master interface bus to a slave interface bus and to transfer a response from the slave interface bus to the master interface bus. A slot number within the request specifies a time slot during which the interconnection section may be permitted to transfer the response to the master interface bus. The request commands the processing section to load the slot number into a management table. The response commands the response processing section to read out the slot number from the management table.
