Abstract
A node includes a shared memory for a distributed memory system on a network. A Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) request is received from a user space application executed by a Virtual Machine (VM) to send an NVMe command to a different node in the network. If a data size for the NVMe request exceeds a maximum segment size of an NVMe over Fabric (NVMe-oF) connection, packets are created to be sent for the NVMe request and an order is determined for sending the packets with one or more packets including data for the NVMe command being sent before a last packet that includes the NVMe command. In another aspect, Virtual Switching (VS) queues are created in a kernel space with each VS queue corresponding to a different respective user space application initiating requests and at least one user space application being executed by one or more other nodes.
