Claim 11:
12. A system, comprising:
memory configured to store instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to at least:
execute, by a software agent executing at a smart network interface card of a cloud computing environment, the software agent being configured to manage a set of one or more active network paths according to a performance threshold associated with the set of one or more active network paths, the set of one or more active network paths being associated with a set of one or more established network connections between the smart network interface card and a storage data plane of the cloud computing environment;
monitor, by the software agent executing at the smart network interface card, network traffic utilizing the set of one or more established network connections associated with the set of one or more active network paths;
determine, by the software agent executing at the smart network interface card, that the network traffic has met a condition relating to the performance threshold associated with the set of one or more active network paths; and
responsive to determining that the network traffic has met the condition relating to the performance threshold associated with the set of one or more active network paths, modify, by the software agent executing at the smart network interface card, a number of established network connections between the smart network interface card and the storage data plane of the cloud computing environment, the number of established network connections corresponding to the set of one or more active network paths.
