A buffer transfer session can be used to send a data object from one device to another using a low-overhead, reliable point-to-point data transfer protocol. In response to a request to transfer a data object to the receiving device, the sending device can locate the requested data object and establish a first buffer transfer session to transfer the data object to the receiving device. The buffer transfer session can be assigned a unique session identifier. The sending device can send the data object as a sequence of packets, each including the session identifier and a portion of the data object. Multiple buffer transfer sessions can be established concurrently between the two devices. In some instances, transfers can be paused and resumed, canceled, switched to a different transport, or persisted across disconnection/reconnection events.
