Abstract
A tunnel for a communication system includes first and second bridges. The first bridge has a first port adapted to couple to a first link and a second port, and has a first programmable bus number and a first programmable function number. The second bridge has a first port coupled to the second port of the first bridge, and a second port, and has a second programmable bus number and a second programmable function number. In a hoist enabled mode, the first bridge forwards a packet on the first link to the second bridge if the second programmable bus number is equal to the first programmable bus number, a bus number of the packet is equal to the first programmable bus number, and a function number of the packet is equal to the second programmable function number.
