Patent number: 11870590Abstract: A method for data transfer includes transmitting a sequence of data packets from a first computer over a network to a second computer in a single RDMA data transfer transaction. Upon receipt of a second packet in the sequence without previously having received the first packet, the second computer sends a NAK packet over the network to the first computer, indicating that the first packet was not received. A retransmission mode is selected responsively to the type of the transaction, such that when the transaction is of a first type, the first packet is retransmitted from the first computer to the second computer in response to the NAK packet without retransmitting the second packet, and when the transaction is of a second type, both the first and second packets are retransmitted from the first computer to the second computer in response to the NAK packet.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.Inventors: Idan Burstein, Roee Moyal, Ariel Shahar, Noam Bloch, Ran Koren

Patent number: 11683266Abstract: A system includes a host processor, which has a host memory and is coupled to store data in a non-volatile memory in accordance with a storage protocol. A network interface controller (NIC) receives data packets conveyed over a packet communication network from peer computers containing, in payloads of the data packets, data records that encode data in accordance with the storage protocol for storage in the non-volatile memory. The NIC processes the data records in the data packets that are received in order in each flow from a peer computer and extracts and writes the data to the host memory, and when a data packet arrives out of order, writes the data packet to the host memory without extracting the data and processes the data packets in the flow so as to recover context information for use in processing the data records in subsequent data packets in the flow.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2022Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.Inventors: Boris Pismenny, Miriam Menes, Idan Burstein, Liran Liss, Noam Bloch, Ariel Shahar
