Zusammenfassung:A network interface controller (NC) that can provide a connection for a device to a network. The NC can include a sideband port controller. The sideband port controller can provide a sideband connection between the network and a sideband endpoint circuit that can communicate information with the network via the sideband. The sideband port controller can include a receive data route that has an input for receiving packets of data from the network and an output for passing the packets of data received from the network to the sideband endpoint circuit. The receive data route may include a buffer to receive the packets of data from the network and to pass the packets of data received from the network to the sideband endpoint.
