1. A method, comprising:
initiating a first isolation function in a first communication switch to form a peer-to-peer arrangement between first endpoint devices coupled to the first communication switch, wherein the first isolation function isolates a first address domain associated with the first endpoint devices from at least a second address domain associated with a host processor by at least establishing first synthetic devices representing the first endpoint devices in the second address domain; and
initiating a second isolation function in a second communication switch to form a peer-to-peer arrangement between second endpoint devices coupled to the second communication switch, wherein the second isolation function isolates a third address domain associated with the second endpoint devices from at least the second address domain associated with the host processor by at least establishing second synthetic devices representing the second endpoint devices in the third address domain.
