Abstract
A system and method can facilitate software-based remote direct memory access (RDMA) communications over transport control protocol (TCP). The system establishes, by an RDMA emulation software layer in a first virtual machine, a TCP connection with a second virtual machine. Responsive to establishing the TCP connection, the system identifies, by the RDMA emulation software layer in the first virtual machine based on socket information received from the second virtual machine, a TCP socket associated with the TCP connection. Responsive to the first virtual machine initiating an RDMA send operation, the system, by the RDMA emulation software layer in the first virtual machine: prepends an RDMA send frame with a protocol header associated with the RDMA emulation software layer; and transmits, via the TCP socket, the prepended RDMA send frame. The system performs the RDMA send operation over the TCP connection.
