ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for supporting a plurality of outstanding requests between a client and server in a network. If the server completes computation of a later request from a client before an earlier request, then the network protocol supports transmission of responses in an out-of-order manner to the client, thereby allowing a high degree of parallelism on the client and the server. The server buffers responses until receiving an implicit acknowledgement from the client.
