A system and method multiplexes channels over multiple connections between one or more nodes. Each node includes a cluster fabric interface module adapted to implement a novel network protocol that enables intra-cluster communication among the nodes. The network protocol is a multi-layered protocol that integrates a session infrastructure and an application operation set into a session layer. The network protocol is illustratively a request/response protocol wherein a node (requester) receiving a data access request from a client redirects that request to another node (responder) that services the request and, upon completion, returns a response.
