Abstract
Aggregation of small payloads from multiple packets may improve bandwidth efficiency of a network, particularly a high-performance compute cluster with thousands of network endpoints and distributed data. Aggregation is context-based and a packet header is reduced because the common components that are shared by the aggregated messages are included once within the header. Execution contexts are explicitly created and destroyed by application programs. Each participating endpoint stores context-specific properties until the context is destroyed, so that the properties are not included in the header. Aggregation may be performed at different hierarchical levels by switches and/or endpoints.
