Abstract
A blockage is detected at a first link based on a delay and/or stoppage of transmission of a data message along the first link between first and second nodes of a plurality of nodes of a fabric. A snapshot message is sent along at least a second link between the first and second nodes in response to the blockage being detected. The second node may capture a fabric state at the second node in response to receiving the snapshot message, before a corrective action occurs.
