Abstract
The current document is directed to methods and systems that provide remote direct memory access ('RDMA') to applications running within execution environments provided by guest operating systems and virtual machines above a virtualization layer. In one implementation, RDMA is accessed by application programs within virtual machines through a paravirtual interface that includes a virtual RDMA driver that transmits RDMA requests through a communications interface to a virtual RDMA endpoint in the virtualization layer.
