Zusammenfassung:According to an example, a failed component in a fault-tolerant memory fabric may be determined by transmitting request packets along a plurality of routes between the redundancy controller and a media controller in periodic cycles. The redundancy controller may determine whether route failures for all of the plurality of routes have occurred within a number of consecutive periodic cycles. In response to determining that route failures for all of the plurality of routes have occurred within a number of consecutive periodic cycles, the media controller is established as failed. In response to determining that route failures for less than all of the plurality of routes have occurred within the number of consecutive periodic cycles, a fabric device is established as failed.
