Communication protocol placement into switch memory

摘要

Direct memory transfer of data from the memory of a server to a memory of a switch. A server identifies a block of data in the memory of the server and a corresponding memory address space in the server. The server identifies a block of memory in the switch. The block of memory is at least the same size of the block of data. The switch comprises a network protocol. The server transfers the block of data into the block of memory. Based on the network protocol, the switch maps a network relationship. The mapping indicates a target server for the transferred block of data to be transmitted to.

1. A method for direct memory transfer of data from the memory of a server to a memory of a switch, the process comprising:
identifying, by a server, a block of data in said memory of said server and a corresponding memory address space in said server; identifying, by said server, a block of memory in said switch, said block of memory being at least the same size of said block of data, said switch comprising a network protocol; transferring, by said server, said block of data into said block of memory; and based on said network protocol, mapping, by said switch, a network relationship, said mapping to indicate a target server for said transferred block of data to be transmitted to; and based on said network relationship mapping, transferring, by said switch, said block of data to said target server.
