Method and device for data transmissions using RDMA. The present invention is implemented between a first entity using a first data structure type and a second entity using a second data structure type over a third entity. The third entity is coupled to a table caching fingerprints of first data structures of the first data structure type and second data structures of the second data structure type associated therewith. A certain first data structure and the second data structure associated therewith represent a certain, identical RDMA function call. A first data structure representing a certain RDMA function call is sent from the first entity to the third entity; the fingerprint for the sent first data structure is determined; a second data structure associated with the determined fingerprint is looked up in the table; and the looked up second data structure is sent to the second entity.
