Abstract: Multipath hosts with the ability to detect path latency, report latency values on paths between the Latency Detecting (LD) host and a set of storage systems. The detected latency values are used by the storage system to create a data structure correlating path information with the detected latency values. When hosts without the ability to detect path latencies (non-LD hosts) connect to the storage systems, the path information about paths used by the non-LD hosts is used to determine reported latency values for paths with similar path information, to generate presumed latency values for the paths used by the non-LD hosts. Where paths used by non-LD hosts have higher latency values, the storage system sets a path attribute value, such as an ALUA state for the path, to signal non-LD hosts to preferentially use paths with lower presumed latency values.

Abstract: A node of a network configured to forward packets based on network programming instructions encoded in the packets, performs a method. The method includes generating a probe packet encoded with a replication network programming instruction. The replication network programming instruction is configured to validate equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routing in the network from the node to a destination by remotely triggering transit nodes of the network, that are traversed by the probe packet, to each perform replicate-and-forward actions. The replicate-and-forward actions include: identifying ECMP paths toward the destination; generating, for the ECMP paths, replicated probe packets that each include the replication network programming instruction; and forwarding the replicated probe packets along the ECMP paths. The method further includes forwarding the probe packet toward the destination.
