Abstract:
In one embodiment, a computer program product includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by a processor to cause the processor to determine a lowest latency LAG port for each LAG in any path of a plurality of paths connecting a first device with a second device, and discover a configuration of a network fabric connecting the first device to the second device after determining the lowest latency LAG port for each LAG therein. The network fabric includes a plurality of devices interconnected with LAGs. Moreover, the embodied program instructions are executable by the processor to perform clock synchronization for each path of the plurality of paths and determine a latency for each path of the plurality of paths based on the clock synchronization and the lowest latency LAG port for each LAG included in the plurality of paths.
