Abstract

Provided are a method, a system, and a computer program product in which a switchless network is maintained. A processor discovers a plurality of nodes in the switchless network by requesting and receiving port information and node information in association with an attribute that allows datagrams to be propagated among the plurality of nodes of the switchless network without being terminated at host channel adapters of the plurality of nodes.
