Abstract
Techniques for monitoring and sending network connectivity information for connection pathways to host machines is provided. A storage node comprises a plurality of attached network interfaces and is operatively coupled to storage devices that are accessible to the host machines through network interfaces attached to the storage node. Each of the network interfaces send messages to the host machines. The storage node, receives host messages from at least one host machine. The storage node determines connectivity information about connectivity between network interfaces and host machines. The storage node receives a request for data that is stored on the one or more storage devices, from a host machine, at a target network interface, where the target node was chosen by the host machine based upon the connectivity information.
