Abstract
A management controller in a network device may provide and/or support host-independent keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) redirection operations in the network device. The management controller may be integrated into a network controller in the network device. The management controller may enable routing of KVM redirection related interactions between the network device and remote KVM peers, with KVM redirection related functions and/or operations being performed and/or provided by other components in the network device. The management controller may also implement a KVM protocol stack utilized in providing peer-to-peer KVM redirection connectivity and/or communications, and/or invoking KVM services in the network device. The management controller may also directly provide and/or perform at least a portion of the KVM services. The management controller may utilize during host-independent KVM redirection, keyboard driver, mouse driver, and/or graphics driver in a basic input/output system (BIOS) of the network device.
