    Abstract: In some examples, a switch includes a plurality of switch ports, and a processor. The processor is to send, through selected switch ports of the plurality of switch ports, respective requests for port information of device ports of a device connected to the selected switch ports, and receive, from the device responsive to the requests, the port information of the device ports. The processor is to identify, from the device ports of the device in response to the received port information, a failover device port for a first device port of the device, and send, to the device, information of the failover device port for the first device port at the device.

    Abstract: According to an example, coordination of adjustments to network frame hold time parameters between network devices in a network is initiated based on a trigger condition. Time data may be obtained from a plurality of network devices in the network, where the time data describes a network frame hold time parameter of each network device in the plurality and a network frame processing time of each network device. A set of affected network devices affected by network back pressure in the network, and a set of non-affected network devices in the plurality not included in the set of affected network devices, may be determined. Based on the time data, a pairing may be determined between a time-available network device from the set of non-affected network devices and a time-needed network devices, from the set of affected network devices, to receive an allocation of time credit from the time-available network device.

    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to protocol agnostic storage access with a software defined network (SDN). A method may include receiving, at a SDN enabled switch, an initialization packet to access a storage volume. The method may include determining, at the SDN enabled switch, a storage protocol used by the initialization packet, adding a protocol tag indicative of the storage protocol to the initialization packet, and sending the initialization packet to a SDN controller. The method may include identifying, at the SDN controller, a storage application based on the protocol tag and sending the initialization packet to the storage application. The storage application may be one of a plurality of storage applications, each associated with a different storage protocol. The method may include performing, by the storage application, protocol-specific tasks.

    Abstract translation: 示例性实施例涉及具有软件定义网络(SDN)的协议不可知存储访问。 一种方法可以包括在启用SDN的交换机上接收初始化分组以访问存储卷。 该方法可以包括在启用SDN的交换机上确定由初始化分组使用的存储协议,将指示存储协议的协议标签添加到初始化分组,以及将初始化分组发送到SDN控制器。 该方法可以包括在SDN控制器处基于协议标签识别存储应用,并将该初始化包发送到存储应用。 存储应用可以是多个存储应用中的一个,每个与不同的存储协议相关联。 该方法可以包括由存储应用程序执行特定于协议的任务。
