Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for transferring data objects. A request for a data object is received at a communication adapter. A determination is made as to whether the data object is stored in a memory in the communication adapter in response to receiving the request. The data object is transferred from the memory to a receiver of the data object through the communication adapter in which transfer of the data across a bus connecting the communication adapter to the data processing system is unnecessary in response to the data object being present in the memory.
