Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Described herein is a system and method for utilizing a protocol over RDMA network fabric between a first computing node and a second computing node. The protocol identifies a first threshold and a second threshold. A transfer request is received, and, a data size associated with the transfer request is determined. Based up the data size associated with the transfer request, one of at least three transfer modes is selected to perform the transfer request in accordance with the first threshold and the second threshold. Each transfer mode utilizes flow control and at least one RDMA operation. The selected transfer mode is utilized to perform the transfer request.
