Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus may provide one or more tangible, nontransitory computer-readable storage media having stored thereon executable instructions to instruct a processor to: stripe an outgoing network message into two or more pieces; send a first piece to a receiver via a first network interface card (NIC), and a second piece to the receiver via a second NIC; and upon determining that the receiver failed to receive a piece of the outgoing network message, replay the piece that the receiver failed to receive via a third NIC.

Abstract: There is included in one example a switch, including: an ingress port to receive data from a source host; a first egress port to send data to a destination host; a second egress port to send data to the source host; and a congestion notification generator (CNG) including: a congestion detector to compute bandwidth consumption of a flow associated with a packet received on the ingress port and assigned to the first egress port, and determine based on the computed bandwidth consumption that the flow is congested; a flow extractor to extract a flow identifier of the flow from the packet; a throttle calculator to calculate a quantitative flow throttle value for the flow; and a header builder to build a congestion notification packet to instruct the source host to throttle the flow.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for a system for enabling the communication of a large message using multiple network interface controllers (NICs). The system can be configured to determine that a message to communicate to a receiver over a network is above a threshold, determine a plurality of NICs to be used to communicate the message, create a manifest that includes an identifier of each of the plurality of NICs, and communicate the manifest to the receiver using a multi-unit message. In an example, the multi-unit message is communicated using a PUT command and the receiver can analyze the manifest and use a GET command to pull the message from the plurality of NICs.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for a system for enabling the communication of a message using a network interface controller (NICs) on a subnet. In an example, the system is applicable to hardware offload NICs such as those implementing the Portals protocol. The system can be configured to determine a NIC in a first subnet to be used to communicate a message, where the NIC is configured to comply with a message passing interface protocol, create a manifest that includes an identifier of the NICs and a subnet ID that identifies the first subnet, and communicate the manifest to the receiver.
