In one example, a first computer system may monitor multiple paths between a first tunnel endpoint (TEP) group and a second TEP group. The first computer system may update health information to indicate that at least a first path is healthy, and a second path is unhealthy.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate generally to data communications, and more particularly to methods and apparatuses for packet reordering and aggregation. One or more embodiments relate to a solution in which transaction layer reordering is made aware of IDE aggregation requirements. For example, PCIe packets are reordered to minimize the occurrence of blocked packets due to incomplete aggregation for certain types of PCIe packets which still need to be encrypted. This leads to improved traffic variation and higher throughput, while still ensuring that IDE security requirements are upheld and maintained.
