Abstract
Disclosed are a system and method of transmitting data in a processing platform. A switch may comprise an upstream port coupled to a root device to communicate with a processing system. The switch may also comprise a plurality of downstream ports where each downstream port is adapted to be coupled to a device. Data may be transmitted between downstream ports based upon routing information for transmitting data from the upstream port to each of the downstream ports.
