Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 1:
2. The computing device of claim 1, further comprising a bus-interconnect transport module, the bus-interconnect transport module being configured, by computer instructions, to:
obtain a control-plane update packet received over the direct connection from the second computing device, wherein the control-plane update packet comprises control-plane bus-interconnect transaction read by a second bus-interconnect transport module executing at the second computing device following receipt of a control-plane packet received at the data plane of the second computing device;
write a first set of bus-interconnect transactions to a bus interconnect of the computing device based on the received control-plane update packet;
read a second set of bus-interconnect transactions from the bus interconnect of the computing device;
encapsulate a payload comprising the second set of bus-interconnect transactions in a data-plane update message; and
transmit, over the direct connection, a data-plane update packet to the second computing device, wherein the second bus-interconnect transport module of the second computing device is configured to receive the data-plane update packet and write the second set of bus-interconnect transactions to the bus interconnect to the second computing device to update the data-plane-associated tables of the data plane of the second computing device.
