Abstract
A method, computer program product, and system are provided for dynamically routing data through the data processing system. Data is received at a first processor that is to be transmitted to a destination processor. The data that is received includes address information. A lookup is performed in routing table data structures based on the address information to identify candidate paths through which the data is routed to the destination processor. A determination is made as to whether any of the candidate paths are not able to be used to route the data to the destination processor based on a setting of at least one identifier. A path is selected from the identified candidate paths for routing of the data based on a setting of the at least one identifier. Then, the data is transmitted from the first processor along the selected path toward the destination processor.
