Abstract: Data traffic management in a computing environment utilizing direct memory access functionality is disclosed. A management agent is configured to operate within a storage node. The management agent includes a storage interface to communicate with a first set of storage devices, a management memory interface to communicate with a first management memory, and an interconnect (IC) interface to communicate with a remote peer node. The management agent controls data traffic between the storage node and the peer node to provide at least mirroring of the first management memory to the peer node and mirroring of a second management memory on the peer node to the storage node. The management agent further controls the data traffic using a traffic control approach selected based on at least a performance evaluation of an IC fabric accessible via the IC interface.
