Methods and apparatus for tunneling platform management messages through inter-processor interconnects. Platform management messages are received from a management entity such as a management engine (ME) at a management component of a first processor targeted for a managed device operatively coupled to a second processor. Management message content is encapsulated in a tunnel message that is tunneled from the first processor to a second management component in the second processor via a socket-to-socket interconnect link between the processors. Once received at the second management component the encapsulated management message content is extracted and the original management message is recreated. The recreated management message is then used to manage the targeted device in a manner similar to if the ME was directly connected to the second processor. The disclosed techniques enable management of platform devices operatively coupled to processors in a multi-processor platform via a single management entity.
