aptPolicy 2 -ap ap_policy 0 1 This policy optimizes the utilization of the available paths by allowing I/O traffic between different SID, DID, or OXID pairs to use different paths. All frames received on an ingress port with the same SID, DID, or OXID parameters take the same path unless there is a fabric event. Refer to dlsSet for the definition of a fabric event. This policy does not support static routes. DLS is always enabled and the DLS setting cannot change with this policy. Specifies an additional AP policy option supported under both port-based and exchange-based policies. The following policies are supported: AP Shared Link Policy (default). AP Dedicated Link Policy. This policy dedicates some links to the ingress traffic and some links to the egress traffic. This policy relieves internal congestion in an environment where there is a large amount of traffic going through both directions at the same time. In addition, it can reduce the impact of slow devices on the overall switch performance.
