摘要： Methods and apparatus that enable a transport protocol executing on a first computer system to be utilized by applications executing on a second computer system which is directly interconnected and closely coupled to the first computer system. An interconnection couples an input/output (I/O) subsystem of the first computer system to an I/O subsystem of the second computer system and provides a path over which data can be transmitted between the first and second computer systems independent of a network interface card, and an interconnection messaging system executing on the first and second computer systems provides general purpose transport interfaces between said first and second computer systems. A distributed transport communications manager executing on the first and second computer systems controls use of the interconnection messaging system to establish a dialog through which the transport protocol of the first computer system may be used by an application executing on the second computer system in a manner which is transparent to the application. The transport protocol executing on the first computer system may be utilized by a plurality of networked computer systems including the second computer system, where the interconnection messaging system establishes dialogs through which the transport protocol of the first computer system may be used by applications executing on the networked computer systems. Conversely, applications executing on the second computer system may utilize transport protocols executing on a plurality of networked computer systems including the first computer system.

摘要： Methods and apparatus that enable network applications executing on respective directly interconnected computer systems to communicate at high speed, with low latency, over the interconnection therebetween such that both systems may use their native mechanisms to communicate with each other without change in those mechanisms, rather than over conventional network communication paths such as Ethernet. Communication between applications in co-resident, closely coupled processing environments is provided by replacing the conventional TCP transport layer and the conventional IP network layer with a reliable messaging subsystem (“MSS”) for data transfers between the closely coupled systems which provides an interface which is independent of the communication protocol of the interconnect and a virtual transport layer (“VTL”) which simulates a known transport layer protocol, such as TCP/IP, to the network applications. MSS is a system interconnect independent messaging transport which presents to its users many different delivery and notification mechanisms for the transfer of both control and data information between different heterogeneous environments, while VTL uses the MSS connection to provide a consistent, interconnect independent interface to the session layer.
