Abstract
A method and system for sending data from a first computer through a communications line to a second computer. The second computer includes a redirector, a transport, a data buffer, and an application program. The method and system provides the transport with a read request to send data from the first computer to the second computer, and with a receive network control block which directs the transport to store the next data it receives directly in the data buffer. The transport sends the read request to the first computer. The first computer stores the data identified by the read request in a data block without a header. The first computer transmits the data block over the communications line to the transport. Using information contained in the network control block, the transport stores the requested data without the header directly in the data buffer.
