1. A computer-implemented method for dynamically managing a routing table in a non-volatile memory express over Fabric (NVMe-oF) system, the method comprising:
for an NVMe-oF system comprising, establishing a first connection between a host and a discovery controller, the host comprising a routing table that associates a destination internet protocol (IP) address with a non-IP-address host interface identifier associated with a host interface used for communicating with the destination IP address;
receiving, from the discovery controller, network information that allows discovery of a storage device; and
using at least some of the network information that was received from the discovery controller to dynamically configure an entry in the routing table that correlates a first non-IP-address host interface identifier associated with a first host interface of the host with a storage device IP address to facilitate a second connection between the host and the storage device via the first host interface and a storage interface that is associated with the storage device IP address.
