ABSTRACT:
A system and method for dynamically determining a route through one or more switch devices at program execution time. A program operable to perform a programmatic request to dynamically determine a route may be created. For example, the request may specify a first endpoint (e.g., channel) of a first switch device and a second endpoint (e.g., channel) of a second switch device. In response to the request, the system may dynamically determine a route from the first endpoint to the second endpoint during execution of the program. Information indicating the determined route may be returned to the program.
