Abstract
Described are systems and methods for communication between a plurality of electronic devices and an aggregation device. An aggregation device processes instructions related to a configuration of an electronic device in communication with the aggregation device. One or more virtual devices are generated in response to processing the instructions. The electronic device enumerates a configuration space to determine devices for use by the electronic device. The aggregation device detects an access of the configuration space by the electronic device. The one or more virtual devices are presented from the aggregation device to the electronic device in accordance with the instructions.
