Abstract
In a network fabric, such as a network having CLOS topology, non-volatile memory express (NVMe®) endpoints may be connected to one of centralized discovery controller (CDC) distributed services placed among multiple leaf switches, which may have resource constraints. Connection scale, delay, and jitter may occur if the CDC distributed services are not placed on leaf switches close to NVMe endpoints served by the CDC distributed services. System and method embodiments are disclosed for placement of CDC services on a switching network fabric close to endpoints that are served by the CDC services. The CDC services may be placed on desired leaf switches close to endpoints.
