Abstract
An interface device is associated with a local device. The interface device is configured to process payload data messages among the local device and peer devices. The payload data messages encapsulated according to a particular protocol. In at least one of the local device and the interface device, configuration messages are generated. The configuration messages are communicated among the local device and the interface device, the configuration messages associated with configuring the operation of the local device and the interface device with respect to the payload data messages.
