Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to use memory as a shared interface between a management controller (e.g., such as embedded baseboard management controller “BMC”, embedded service processor, non-embedded management controller, etc.) and a network controller of an information handling system (e.g., such as a server) in order to achieve a relatively high speed data path between a network and the management controller, and without requiring the use and/or presence of a high speed physical connection to and/or from a sideband interface of the network controller.
