Abstract
A network interface controller for providing a connection for a device to a network. The network interface controller may include a sideband port controller. The sideband port controller may provide a sideband connection between the network and a sideband endpoint circuit that is operative to communicate information with the network via the sideband. The sideband port controller may include a transmit data route having an input for receiving packets from the sideband endpoint circuit and an output for passing packets received from the sideband endpoint to the network. A packet parser is connected to the transmit data route. The packet parser is operative to read data from packets received from the sideband endpoint and is further operative to analyze the data.
