PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for distributing input/output (I/O) operations among at least two paths in a multi-path computer system including a host computer, a system resource and a plurality of paths coupling the host computer to the system resource. SOLUTION: For a next I/O operation to be assigned for transmission between the host computer and the system resource, a selection is made of one of the at least two paths for transmission of the next I/O operation based upon a state of previously assigned I/O operations queued for transmission over the at least two paths.
