Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) tunneling over Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) bus. An initiating device, connected to a CEE network, initiates a command. An encoding device encodes a CEE frame comprising the command, target device address, initiator signals, and an address of a CEE switch closest to the target device, connected to a PCIe network. The initiating device transmits an inquiry to the CEE switch through the CEE frame. The CEE switch comprises an address table with an entry specifying a generic PCIe device. The CEE switch is configured to convert the CEE frame into PCIe readable signals and to transmit them to PCIe devices. The initiating device receives a response indicating a PCIe acknowledgement from a corresponding device from the PCIe devices. The corresponding device is associated with the target device address. Based on the response, the initiating device initiates a transaction to the corresponding device through CEE frames. |

1. A method for Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) tunneling over Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) bus, said method comprising:
initiating, by an initiating device, a command, said initiating device connected to a CEE network; encoding, by an encoding device associated with said initiating device, a CEE frame, said CEE frame comprising said command, an address of a target device, one or more initiator control signals, and an address of a CEE switch closest to said target device, said target device connected to a PCIe network; transmitting, by said initiating device, an inquiry to said CEE switch, said inquiry transmitted through said CEE frame, said CEE switch comprising an address table, said address table comprising an entry specifying a generic PCIe device, said CEE switch configured to convert said CEE frame into PCIe readable signals, said CEE switch configured to transmit said PCIe readable signals to one or more PCIe devices connected to said PCIe network; receiving, by said initiating device, a response from a corresponding device from said one or more PCIe devices, said corresponding device being associated with said address of said target device, said response indicating a PCIe acknowledgment; and based on said response, initiating, by said initiating device, a transaction to said corresponding device through one or more CEE frames. |
