Rather than having application-specific method names, we standardise on a generic bus operation and demultiplex within various IP blocks based on regsiter address.
The generic payload can be extended on a custom basis and intermediate bus bridges and routers can be polymorphic about this: not needing to know about all the extensions but able to update timestamps to model routing delays.
