Abstract
A method for communication includes establishing, using an end-to-end reliable transport context, a channel for exchange of data packets over a network between a first network interface controller (NIC) of a first computing node on the network and a second NIC of a second computing node on the network. The first NIC accepts first and second work items for execution on behalf of different, first and second sender processes, respectively, that are running on the first computing node. The first and second work items are executed by transmitting over the network from the first NIC to the second NIC, using the end-to-end reliable transport context, first and second messages directed to different, first and second receiver process running on the second computing node, using the same end-to-end reliable transport context. The second message is sent before receiving from the second NIC any acknowledgment of the first message.
