Embodiments described herein are directed to mechanisms that enable roles (e.g., host vs. function, power provider vs. power consumer, master vs. slave, server vs. client, source vs. sink, upstream vs. downstream) to be dynamically assigned between two interconnected dual-role devices in an intelligent and deterministic manner based on the available context on each device. 本文所描述的实施例针对这样的机制，即：其使得能基于两个互连的双重角色设备中每个双重角色设备上的可用上下文而以智能和确定性的方式在两个互连的双重角色设备之间动态地指派角色（例如，主机与功能、电力供应者与电力消费者、主与从、服务器与客户机、源与宿、上游与下游）。
