Erasure-coded data transfer using remote direct memory access (rdma)

A method of erasure-coded data transfer using remote direct memory access (RDMA), comprising:

• receiving, by a receiver endpoint via a plurality of network connections, one or more segments of a plurality of segments sent by a sender endpoint using RDMA, wherein the plurality of segments comprise a plurality of data segments and one or more parity segments;
• identifying, by the receiver endpoint, one or more missing data segments;
• and
• determining, by the receiver endpoint, whether to reconstruct the one or more missing data segments by determining whether the one or more missing data segments includes a number of missing data segments less than or equal to a number of received parity segments.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a processing device to:

• partition, by a sender endpoint, a message to be sent to a receiver endpoint into a plurality of data segments by logically subdividing the message into a number of data segments defined as a parameter of an error coding scheme;
• generate, by the sender endpoint, one or more parity segments from the plurality of data segments by applying the error coding scheme to the plurality of data segments;
• and
• send, by the sender endpoint and to the receiver endpoint, via a plurality of network connections, the plurality of data segments and the one or more parity segments using remote direct memory access (RDMA), wherein each of the data segments and each of the parity segments are sent using RDMA via different network connections of the plurality of network connections.
