| Describe an MCTP endpoint. It is an MCTP communication terminus. An MCTP |
| endpoint is a terminus or origin of MCTP packets or messages. The combined |
| functionality within a physical device that communicates using the MCTP |
| transport protocol and handles MCTP control commands. This includes |
| MCTP-capable management controllers and managed devices. |
| |
| properties: |
| |
| - name: NetworkId |
| type: size |
| description: > |
| A locally defined identifier to distinguish each independent MCTP |
| network within a platform. The network IDs are used by the MCTP stack |
| to index separate MCTP Networks. This along with EID is used by upper |
| layer protocols to address the destination endpoint. |
| |
| - name: EID |
| type: size |
| description: > |
| The logical address used to route MCTP messages to a specific MCTP |
| endpoint. A numeric handle (logical address) that uniquely identifies |
| a particular MCTP endpoint within a system for MCTP communication and |
| message routing purposes. Endpoint IDs are unique among MCTP |
| endpoints that comprise an MCTP communication network within a |
| system. MCTP EIDs are only unique within a particular MCTP network. |
| That is, they can be duplicated or overlap from one MCTP network to |
| the next. This is also referred to as "endpoint ID" and abbreviated |
| as "EID". |

| - name: SupportedMessageTypes |
| type: array[byte] |
| description: > |
| List of MCTP message types supported by the MCTP endpoint. MCTP |
| message type is an enumeration that identifies the type of the |
| communication payload in an MCTP message. The well defined message |
| types are MCTP Control(0x00), PLDM(0x01), NC-SI over MCTP(0x02), |
| Ethernet over MCTP(0x03), NVM Express Management Messages over |
| MCTP(0x04) and SPDM over MCTP(0x05). There are ranges for vendor |
| defined message types. All the message types are specified in the |
| DSP0239 specification. A device that supports a given message type |
| may not support that message type equally across all buses that |
| connect to the device. |
