Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for a system for enabling the communication of a large message using multiple network interface controllers (NICs). The system can be configured to determine that a message to communicate to a receiver over a network is above a threshold, determine a plurality of NICs to be used to communicate the message, create a manifest that includes an identifier of each of the plurality of NICs, and communicate the manifest to the receiver using a multi-unit message. In an example, the multi-unit message is communicated using a PUT command and the receiver can analyze the manifest and use a GET command to pull the message from the plurality of NICs.
