Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for various approaches for implementing trust domains to provide boundaries between PCIe devices connected to the same PCIe switch. A first trust identifier can be assigned to a first virtual machine hosted by the computing device. The first trust identifier can also be assigned to a first PCIe device assigned to the first virtual machine. Later, it can be determined that a second PCIe device connected to the PCIe switch is assigned a second trust identifier assigned to a second virtual machine. An Address Control Services (ACS) direct translated bit for peer-to-peer memory requests in the PCIe switch can be disabled in response to a determination that the second PCIe device is associated with the second trust identifier assigned to the second virtual machine.
