Abstract
A computer-implemented method for load-balancing client input/output (I/O) requests in a clustered storage system may include receiving a request by a first node of a clustered storage system from a client to initiate a session between the client and the first node. The request may specify a multi-channel communication session. In response to receiving the request, an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the first and at least a second node may be transmitted to the client. The multi-channel communication session may be established between the client and the first and second nodes in which the client communicates with the first node using a first communication channel and communicates with the second node using a second communication channel. The first node may transmit to the second node session data determined at the first node. The second node may transmit to the first node session data determined at the second node.
