Claim 18:
19. The system of claim 17, wherein the system is configured to:
read a set of bus-interconnect transactions from a bus interconnect of the target network device and transmit the set of bus-interconnect transactions as a set of data-plane transaction messages to the virtualized network device over a network interface, wherein the virtualized network device is configured to use the set of data-plane transaction messages to write the set of bus-interconnect transactions to the bus interconnect or to a host processor of the virtualized network device to update control plane states maintained by the virtualized network device; and
write a second set of bus-interconnect transactions to the bus-interconnect of the target network device based on a second set of data-plane transaction messages received from the virtualized network device over the network interface, wherein the second set of bus-interconnect transactions updates a portion of a plurality of data-plane-associated tables of the target network device.
