Abstract
Systems and methods provide modern storage networks, such as those utilizing a non-volatile memory express over Fabric (NVMe-oF) system, with connectivity options that meet low-latency and high-throughput demands. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished by enabling network entities to acquire and utilize network information, including discovery information, to dynamically manage routing tables and build routes, e.g., to allow a host to send out frames through desired interfaces to reach target destinations. An automated IP routing update service allows for dynamically creating, reading, updating, and deleting functions of otherwise static IP routing table entries to streamline functions in the storage fabric.
