Abstract
Techniques for determining an impact that a congested switch port is having on a network and for estimating a reason as to why the congested switch port is congested are disclosed. Configuration data and performance data from a network are obtained. Based on the configuration data, a shortest path between a storage port and a host port is identified. A particular switch port is also identified as a result of that port being congested. An impact as to how the switch port, due to its congestion in the particular shortest path, is impacting or is being impacted by other switch ports in the network is determined. An alert, which includes information indicating the impact, is triggered.
