the Mandatory queue is the processors->cache interface.  All requests start in the mandatory queue. 
 
The other queues are protocol specific.  For example, our broadcast-based protocol (MOSI_SMP_bcast) uses an ordered Address network, and the queues are how the controllers interact with the networks.
 
There is no easy answer when you should use them. 
 

I would like to understand more about the different queues a cache protocol has.

What are the Mandatory and Optional queues?

When should I use them in a transition?

What is the Address queue? When I should use it?

 

Thanks,

Shachar
