Abstract
PCIe devices installed in host computers communicating with service nodes can provide virtualized and high availability PCIe functions to host computer workloads. The PCIe device can receive a PCIe TLP encapsulated in a PCIe DLLP via a PCIe bus. The TLP includes a TLP address value, a TLP requester identifier, and a TLP type. The PCIe device can terminate the PCIe transaction by sending a DLLP ACK message to the host computer in response to receiving the TLP. The TLP packet can be used to create a workload request capsule that includes a request type indicator, an address offset, and a workload request identifier. A workload request packet that includes the workload request capsule can be sent to a virtualized service endpoint. The service node, implementing the virtualized service endpoint, receives a workload response packet that includes the workload request identifier and a workload response payload.
