A determination is made of a buffer entry for a send buffer and receive buffer pair that is available for use. Indication is made of the message in the determined buffer entry of the send buffer. The message is sent from the send buffer to the receiving node indicating the determined buffer entry in which the message is indicated to cause the receiving node to include the message in the indicated buffer entry in the receive buffer.
