 Any arbitration thread receiving a timed request is resumed. It must obtain an up to date timing & activity information for all its input channels before making any decision.

 The arbitration policy is the following : The arbitration thread scans all its input channels, and selects the smallest time between the active initiators.
 If there is a request, this request is forwarded to the target, and the arbitration thread local time is updated.
