A method for operating a switch is provided. The switch shares a resource between a plurality of thunderbolt (TB) hosts and at least a TB device, and includes a plurality of non-transparent bridges. The method includes steps of establishing a memory address mapping between each the non-transparent bridge and the TB device; providing a plurality of protocol-converting media for the plurality of TB hosts, wherein each the protocol-converting medium is converted between a first protocol and a second protocol; and causing the plurality of protocol-converting media to be converted between the first protocol and the second protocol simultaneously so as to allow the resource to be shared between the plurality of TB hosts and the TB device simultaneously. |
