1. A computer system, comprising:
a processor comprising a plurality of interface ports; and
a first interface card to:
identify a target device in a second computer system reachable via a second interface card of the second computer system;
present the target device as a local device within the computer system to an interface port of the plurality of interface ports of the processor;
determine a first path to the second interface via a first fabric and a second path to the second interface via a second fabric;
obtain a set of packets directed to the target device from the interface port; and
forward, to the second interface card, a first subset of the set of packets via the first path and a second subset of the set of packets via the second path.
