Abstract
A distributed computer system includes a source endnode including a source process which produces message data and a send work queue having work queue elements that describe the message data for sending. A destination endnode includes a destination process and a receive work queue having work queue elements that describe where to place incoming message data. A communication fabric provides communication between the source endnode and the destination endnode. An end-to-end context is provided at the source endnode and the destination endnode storing state information to ensure the reception and sequencing of message data sent from the source endnode to the destination endnode permitting reliable datagram service between the source endnode and the destination endnode.
