In a multi-switch fabric where it is necessary to manually map out preferred paths based on

application priority and topology, while still allowing failover to non-preferred paths if needed, Traffic

Isolation Zones (TIZs) are the recommended functionality. TIZs provide a mechanism to segregate

and control traffic within a Fibre Channel (FC) fabric, ensuring that specific application traffic follows

the preferred paths while providing the necessary failover capabilities. This enhances the

performance and reliability of critical applications by keeping their traffic on dedicated paths,

reducing the risk of congestion and ensuring that failover paths are used only when necessary.
