Abstract

A receiving node sends a token identifier to the data source and receives data from the data source, along with the token identifier. A token identifier identifies a location in memory on the receiving node, but is not the same as an address in the memory. In the described embodiments, a token identifier is an integer value that acts as an index into a token array, which identifies the memory location.
