Abstract
In a method for directing a computer network request to process through one or more components, a processor identifies a plurality of input/output (I/O) paths capable of serving a computer network request and a plurality of components along each path of the plurality of I/O paths. A processor predicts resource demands at each respective component of the plurality of components along each path of the plurality of I/O paths. A processor estimates expected delay times at each respective component of the plurality of components along each path of the plurality of I/O paths using predicted resource demands at each component. A processor determines an expected delay time for each path of the plurality of I/O paths based on the expected delay times at each respective component of the plurality of components along each path of the plurality of I/O paths.
