Abstract: An apparatus includes a multiport hub, a single bridge configured to communicatively couple together a plurality of hosts and to emulate a slave device to each such host, and a plurality of connection port. The apparatus further includes a configurable data path network coupled to the multiport hub, the single bridge, and the plurality of connection ports. The configurable data path network is configured to selectively provide for a connection port for which a host is detected, data communications through the single bridge between the multiport hub and the connection port, and for a connection port for which no host is detected, data communications between the multiport hub and the connection port that bypass the single bridge. Corresponding methods are also so disclosed.
