Abstract:
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) tunneling over Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) networks. The CEE networks comprise devices configured to use PCIe. An initiating device initiates a command. The command is associated with initiator control signals, which are associated with the initiating device. The initiating device requests permission from an arbiter, and receives a request grant from the arbiter. Based on the request grant, a mapping device maps the initiator control signals, an target device address, and the command into a CEE control frame. Based on the mapping, the initiating device transmits an inquiry to the devices. Based on transmitting the inquiry, the initiating device receives a response from a corresponding device. The corresponding device is associated with the target device address. The response comprises target control signals associated with the corresponding device. Based on the response, the initiating device initiates a transaction to the corresponding device through CEE control frames.
