Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of data communication between a requester and a responder in a remote direct memory access (RDMA) network, wherein each of the requester and the responder is an RDMA-enabled host of the RDMA network, the method comprising: randomizing a value of a mapped steering tag at a requester; sending a request for the responder to provide data, wherein the request comprises the randomized mapped steering tag, and the randomized mapped steering tag is obtained by mapping a set of memory buffers of the requester onto a single representation that allows for identifying each of the memory buffers of the set; and receiving the requested data together with the randomized mapped steering tag and assigning the data being received to the memory buffers of the set consistently with the mapping, wherein the sending and receiving steps are performed at the requester.
