Abstract
Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to offload technology. In aspects, a mechanism is described that allows an offload provider to use larger tokens. The larger token may be physical or virtual. In response to an offload read command, a larger token may be created and data from the larger token may be split or injected into multiple tokens of a smaller size. In response to an offload write command, data from the multiple tokens may be combined into a larger token and/or extracted and used to obtain bulk data.
