Abstract
Technologies for offloaded management of communication are disclosed. In order to manage communication with information that may be available to applications in a compute device, the compute device may offload communication management to a host fabric interface using a credit management system. A credit limit is established, and each message to be sent is added to a queue with a corresponding number of credits required to send the message. The host fabric interface of the compute device may send out messages as credits become available and decrease the number of available credits based on the number of credits required to send a particular message. When an acknowledgement of receipt of a message is received, the number of credits required to send the corresponding message may be added back to an available credit pool.
