 The X_ID, Y_ID and L_ID are coded on NX, NY, NL bits respectively.
 The NX, NY and NL parameters are global for a given instance of the TSAR architecture.  NX & NY cannot be larger than 5 (no more than 1024 clusters),
-but can be smaller, if the number of clusters is larger than 1024. NL cannot be larger than 4 (no more than 16 ports per cluster).

 In order to simplify the hardware implementation of the memory coherence protocol, the L_ID values are standardized on the coherence network, and the same value is used for an initaitor port and for a target port:

  * According to the NUMA characteristics of the TSAR architecture, there is no transcoding of the X & Y fields, that directly define the target cluster coordinates  (X_INDEX, Y_INDEX).
- * The network decodes the LADR field to obtain the target LOCAL_INDEX, using a local routing table (implemented as a wired decoder in each local interconnect controller). The local routing tables and the number of bits NLADR to be decoded depend on the cluster.
