Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for using send buffers and receive buffers for sending messages among nodes in a network. A send buffer is provided for each of at least one receiving node comprising one of the nodes to which messages are sent. Each of the receiving nodes includes at least one receive buffer to receive messages from the send buffer at the sending node. A determination is made of a buffer entry for a send buffer and receive buffer pair that is available for use. Indication is made of the message in the determined buffer entry of the send buffer. The message is sent from the send buffer to the receiving node indicating the determined buffer entry in which the message is indicated to cause the receiving node to include the message in the indicated buffer entry in the receive buffer.
