Packet generation methods and devices for ordered data offloads

A computing device comprising:

• a non-transitory storage device;
• and
• a processor coupled to the non-transitory storage device, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive a first transmission request associated with a first message for transmission via a communication network, wherein the first message comprises:
• one or more data entries;
• a first message size defined at least in part by the one or more data entries;
• and
• a first order by which at least a portion of the data entries of the first message are to be executed;
• determine a maximum transport unit (MTU) for a first transport queue associated with the communication network, wherein:
• the first transport queue is associated with packet spreading operations over the communication network such that at least a portion of data entries forming data packets that are sent via the first transport queue are transmitted to different nodes of the communication network;
• and
• the MTU of the first transport queue defines a maximum packet size for packets transmitted via the first transport queue;
• and
• generate at least a first data packet based on the first message, wherein a size of the generated first data packet is less than or equal to the MTU for the first transport queue.

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer program code thereon that, in execution with at least one processor, configures the computer program product for:

• receiving a first transmission request associated with a first message for transmission via a communication network, wherein the first message comprises:
• one or more data entries;
• a first message size defined at least in part by the one or more data entries;
• and
• a first order by which at least a portion of the data entries of the first message are to be executed;
• determining a maximum transport unit (MTU) for a first transport queue associated with the communication network, wherein:
• the first transport queue is associated with packet spreading operations over the communication network such that at least a portion of data entries forming data packets that are sent via the first transport queue are transmitted to different nodes of the communication network;
• and
• the MTU of the first transport queue defines a maximum packet size for packets transmitted via the first transport queue;
• and
• generating at least a first data packet based on the first message, wherein a size of the generated first data packet is less than or equal to the MTU for the first transport queue.
