Methods and apparatus are provided for determining characteristics associated with routes in fibre channel networks. Techniques are provided for inserting time stamp information into frames transmitted from a source to a destination and back to the source. Time stamp information allows a supervisor associated with a source to determine characteristics such as round trip times, latency between hops, and connectivity to a destination for specific routes.

L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil utilisés pour déterminer des caractéristiques associées à des routes dans des réseaux de canaux de fibres. L'invention concerne des techniques d'insertion des informations d'horodateur dans des cadres émis à partir d'une source vers une destination et qui reviennent à la source. Les informations d'horodateur permettent à un programme de commande associé à une source de déterminer des caractéristiques telles que la durée du cycle d'opération, un temps d'attente entre les bonds et la connectivité à une destination pour des routes spécifiques.
