US Patent 10999364 Emulation of memory access transport services

An apparatus includes a network interface and circuitry. The network interface is configured to connect to a communication network. The circuitry is configured to receive, from a host, first RDMA requests in accordance with a first transport service type, for transferring data between an initiator process running on the host and one or more responder processes running on one or more remote computers, to convert the first RDMA requests into second RDMA requests in accordance with a second transport service type, different from the first transport service type, to communicate messages corresponding to the second transport service type with the remote computers, to convert completions, which are received from the one or more remote computers in accordance with the second transport service type, into corresponding completions to the first RDMA requests in accordance with the first transport service type, and to send the corresponding completions to the initiator process.
