A method includes receiving a request from an endpoint node on a switch fabric to establish a peer-to-peer connection with another node on the switch fabric. The peer-to-peer connection is to be used to exchange data with the other node via a path routed through the switch fabric. The path is routed through an intermediary node on the switch fabric. One or more parameters are obtained that enable the endpoint node to exchange data with the other node. The one or more parameters are maintained in a data repository at a given endpoint node on the switch fabric. The implementation also includes establishing the peer-to-peer connection based on the one or more parameters obtained from the data repository and based on a given switch fabric topology.
