ABSTRACT:
In an example embodiment, a method of reading data from a remote device transfers data directly from the remote memory of the remote device to the local memory of the local device. A message is sent from the local device to the remote device which includes a transport header indicating the message type of the message. The remote device processes the message to determine whether or not the transport header of the message identifies the message as a type of remote Direct Memory Access (rDMA) read operation. If the message is that type of remote Direct Memory Access (rDMA) read operation, then the remote device performs a remote Direct Memory Access (rDMA) write operation to the local device in accordance with data elements included in the message.
