Systems and methods herein are for one or more processing units of a subnet manger (SM) to communicate configuration information with at least one subnet management agent (SMA) that is associated with at least one switch and with a host machine, the configuration information to enable the at least one switch to configure a forwarding table based in part on a mapping of at least one virtual network address to physical network addresses of two or more physical ports of the host machine, and the configuration information to enable the host machine to communicate with other host machines using the at least one switch and the at least one virtual network address.

Link aggregation in InfiniBand networks

Multipathing for session-based remote direct memory access (SRDMA) may be used for congestion management. A given SRDMA session group may be associated with multiple SRDMA sessions, each having its own unique 5-tuple. A queue pair (QP) associated with the SRDMA session group may provide a packet for transmission using the SRDMA session group. The SRDMA session group may enable the packet to be transmitted using any of the associated SRDMA sessions. Congestion levels for each of the SRDMA sessions may be monitored and weighted. Therefore, when a packet is received, an SRDMA session may be selected based, at least, on the weight to enable routing of packets to reduce latency and improve overall system efficiency.

Multipathing with remote direct memory access connections

A system for transmitting data is described, among other things. An illustrative system is disclosed to include one or more circuits to perform transmitting message-based data over packets. The circuits are capable of identifying a first message, transmitting a first portion of the first message in a first packet, the first packet including a bit indicating the first packet is message-based, and transmitting an end portion of the first message in a second packet, the second packet including a first bit indicating the second packet is message-based and a second bit indicating the second packet comprises the end portion of the first message.

Systems and methods of message-based packets

Systems and methods enable session sharing for session-based remote direct memory access (RDMA). Multiple queue pairs (QPs) can be added to a single session and/or session group where each of the QPs has a common remote. Systems and methods may query a session ID for an existing session group and then use the session ID with an add QP request to join additional QPs to an existing session. Newly added QPs may share one or more features with existing QPs of the session group, such as encryption parameters. Additionally, newly added QPs may be configured with different performance or quality of service requirements, thereby isolating performance, and permitting true scaling for high performance computing applications.

Session sharing with remote direct memory access connections

API in conjunction with a bridge chip and first and second hosts having first and second memories respectively. The bridge chip connects the memories. The API comprises key identifier registration functionality to register a key identifier for each of plural computer processes performed by the first host, thereby to define plural key identifiers; and/or access control functionality to provide at least computer process Pperformed by the first host with access, typically via the bridge chip, to at least local memory buffer Mresiding in the second memory, typically after the access control functionality first validates that process Phas a key identifier which has been registered, e.g., via the key identifier registration functionality. Typically, the access control functionality also prevents at least computer process P, performed by the first host, which has not registered a key identifier, from accessing local memory buffer M, e.g., via the bridge chip.
