THROTTLING FOR BANDWIDTH IMBALANCED DATA TRANSFERS

Techniques are disclosed to throttle bandwidth imbalanced data transfers. In some examples, an example computer-implemented method may include splitting a payload of a data transfer operation over a network fabric into multiple chunk get operations, starting the execution of a threshold number of the chunk get operations, and scheduling the remaining chunk get operations for subsequent execution. The method may also include executing a scheduled chunk get operation in response determining a completion of an executing chunk get operation. In some embodiments, the chunk get operations may be implemented as triggered operations.
