Target initiated termination is a mechanism of the PCI architecture where the target of a data transfer is allowed to terminate a data transfer between it and the bus master of the target device monopolizes the bus due to slow access time. The target device will also terminate the transfer if it detects a collision on the bus. After the transfer has been terminated, the target device will issue a retry request to the PCI bus master.
