Abstract:
Presented herein are priority route based techniques for mitigation of slow drain devices in a Fibre Channel (FC) fabric comprising a plurality of FC switches. In accordance with examples presented herein, a first FC switch in a FC fabric receives an indication that a first computing device attached to the FC fabric has entered a slow drain condition. The first FC switch is configured to prepare and install a priority route for packet flows directed to the first computing device.
