Claim 17:
18. A method, comprising:
monitoring first packets among traffic carried by one or more first directional lanes of a communication link established between a host and one or more endpoint devices and determine header information for the first packets, wherein the header information determined for the first packets comprises bus-device-function (BDF) properties;
detecting second packets among traffic carried by one or more second directional lanes of the communication link based at least in part on the header information determined for the first packets; and
