ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for reducing communication overhead to make remote direct memory access more efficient for smaller data transfers. An upper layer protocol or other software creates a receive buffer and a corresponding lookup key for remotely accessing the receive buffer. In response to receiving a data message, the remote direct memory access protocol places a data portion of the data message into the receive buffer and prevents further changes. The upper layer protocol or software confirms that further changes to the receive buffer have been prevented. A lower layer transport protocol may be used to deliver data received from a remote system to the remote direct memory access protocol. Data transfers may occur through buffer copies with relatively lower overhead but also relatively lower throughput, or may occur through remote direct memory access to offer relatively higher throughput, but also imposing relatively higher overhead.
