ABSTRACT:
A shared I/O subsystem for a plurality of computer systems. The shared I/O subsystem includes a plurality of ports that communicatively couple the computer systems to the shared I/O subsystem where each of the ports includes at least one corresponding bit in an adjustable span port register. Data packets arriving on the plurality of ports may be selectively provided to a span port based on a current state of the adjustable span port register.
