Just to clarify for Walt: There's a difference between a transaction 
and a transfer.  Transfers can take an indefinitely long time to 
complete, because the device doesn't have to accept or send any data 
until it is ready.

By contrast, transactions have sharply bounded lifetimes.  A
transaction consists of some maximum number of packets (usually 3,
sometimes a little more) with upper limits on the time intervals
between them.

A TRB lies somewhere between a transfer and a transaction.  A single 
TRB can encompass a single transaction or multiple transactions, and a 
single transfer can involve more than one TRB.
