   Capacity monitoring in a storage network involves monitoring the availability of ports on a switch, the number of available ports in the entire fabric, the utilization of the inter-switch links, individual ports, and each interconnect device in the fabric. Capacity monitoring provides all required inputs for future planning and optimization of the fabric with additional interconnect devices.
   Monitoring the performance of a storage network is useful in assessing
   individual component performance and helps to identify network bottlenecks.
   For example, monitoring port performance is done by measuring receive or transmit link utilization metrics, which indicate how busy the switch port is, based on expected maximum throughput. Heavily used ports can cause
   queuing delays on the server.
