    Abstract: Multi-node, multi-socket computer systems and methods provide packet tunneling between processor nodes without going through a node controller link. On receiving a packet, the destination node identifier (NID) is examined, and if it is not same as the source socket, then the packet request address is examined. If it is determined that the packet is not for a remote connected socket, then the packet's destination NID and source socket NID are replaced along with recalculated data protection information. The modified packet is then sent to the destination socket over another processor interconnect path.
