Since a PCI/PCIe level function may emulate a peripheral device controller, the redirecting may occur without modifying an operating system for the electronic system or the corresponding device driver used to access the peripheral device. Accordingly, virtualization and redirection may enable controlling a remote electronic system over a network. The controlling of a remote electronic system may comprise, for example, storing and accessing data in a remote storage device, booting from the remote storage device, and scanning and/or printing at the remote device. | 02-12-2009 |
