1. A computer system, comprising:
a plurality of processors, a respective processor including a respective domain controller and coupled to a respect set of one or more domain endpoint devices via respective links;
one or more interconnects, coupled between pairs of processors; and
one or more non-domain endpoint devices communicatively coupled either directly or indirectly to at least one processor,
wherein the computer system is configured to implement multiple MCTP (Management Control Transport Protocol) domains, each MCTP domain employing at least one domain controller and employing 8-bit device Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs) to uniquely identify domain endpoint devices within the MCTP domain, and
wherein the one or more non-domain endpoint devices are enabled to send data to and receive data from domain endpoint devices in each of the multiple MCTP domains.
