Abstract
A method and system for transferring noncontiguous messages group including assembling a set of data into a series of transmission packets, packaging a description of the layout of the transmission packets into description packets and then places each description packet into a local buffer while maintaining a count of the number of description packets, transfers each description packet into a transmit buffer for transmission to at least one receiving node, identifies the data packets, and forwards each data packet to the transmit buffer for transmission to the at least one receiving node. The receiving node receives the transmission packets, identifies each packet as a description packet or data packet, places the description packets in a local buffer for storage until the description is complete, places each description packet into a user data buffer, stores data packets in a local queue until the description is complete, then transfers the data packets to the user buffer.
