摘要:
The method determines whether a particular jumbo data packet benefits from fragmentation and reassembly management during communication through a network or networks. The method determines the best communication path, including path partners, between a sending information handling system (IHS) and a receiving IHS for the jumbo packet. A packet manager determines the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for each path partner or switch in the communication path including the sending and receiving IHSs. The method provides transfer of the jumbo packets intact between those path partner switches of the communication path exhibiting MTU sized for jumbo or larger packet transfer. The method provides fragmentation of jumbo packets into multiple normal packets for transfer between switches exhibiting normal packet MTU sizes. The packet manager reassembles multiple normal packets back into jumbo packets for those network devices, including the receiving IHS, capable of managing jumbo packets.

Mechanisms for reducing the idle time of a computing device due to delays in transmitting/receiving acknowledgement packets are provided. A first data amount corresponding to a window size for a communication connection is determined. A second data amount, in excess of the first data amount, which may be transmitted with the first data amount, is calculated. The first and second data amounts are then transmitted from the sender to the receiver. The first data amount is provided to the receiver in a receive buffer of the receiver. The second data amount is maintained in a switch port buffer of a switch port without being provided to the receive buffer. The second data amount is transmitted from the switch port buffer to the receive buffer in response to the switch port detecting an acknowledgement packet from the receiver.

Method, system and computer program product for transferring data in a data processing system network. A method for transferring data in a data processing system network according to the invention includes determining an adapter among a plurality of adapters that has the lowest transmit latency, and assigning data to be transferred to the adapter determined to have the lowest transmit latency. The data to be transferred is then transferred by the assigned adapter. The present invention utilizes network adapters to transfer data in a more efficient manner.
