Techniques for reducing the overhead of providing responses in a computing network

An endpoint in a network may make posted or non-posted write requests to another endpoint in the network. For a non-posted write request, the target endpoint provides a response to the requesting endpoint indicating that the write request has been serviced. For a posted write request, the target endpoint does not provide such an acknowledgment. Hence, posted write requests have lower overhead, but they suffer from potential synchronization and resiliency issues. While non-posted write requests do not have those issues, they cause increased load on the network because such requests require the target endpoint to acknowledge each write request. Introduced herein is a network operation technique that uses non-posted transactions while maintaining a load overhead of the network as a manageable level. The introduced technique reduces the load overhead of the non-posted write requests by collapsing and reducing a number of the responses.
