Abstract
A method, apparatus, computer readable medium, and system that includes receiving a request for a topology path for a designated device, the request comprising a bus device function representation that identifies the designated device, determining the topology path based, at least in part, on the bus device function representation such that the topology path provides a deterministic representation of a route to the designated device, and replying with the topology path is disclosed.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory, the memory comprising computer code that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
- receive a request for a topology path for a designated device, the request comprising a bus device function representation that identifies the designated device;
- determine the topology path based, at least in part, on the bus device function representation such that the topology path provides a deterministic representation of a route to the designated device;
- and
- reply with the topology path.
At least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer code that, when executed by a processor, causes an apparatus to:
- receive a request for a topology path for a designated device, the request comprising a bus device function representation that identifies the designated device;
- determine the topology path based, at least in part, on the bus device function representation such that the topology path provides a deterministic representation of a route to the designated device;
- and
- reply with the topology path.
