Thanks for the reply. I was not able to achieve the required task with the given pointers. I ran the application with following command, mpirun -np 2 --mca btl_tcp_frag 9 --mca btl_tcp_max_send_size 8192 -host node-00,node-01 /home/atif/blah/aa_l
I still see the messages of size 65226 bytes. I am missing something? One side question, I cannot find documentation for the mca parameter btl_tcp_frag. I am currently using openmpi version 1.2.2.

The btl_tcp_min_send_size is not exactly what you expect it to be. It drive only the send protocol (as implemented in Open MPI), and not the put protocol the TCP BTL is using. You can achieve what you want with 2 parameters: 1. btl_tcp_frag set to 9. This will force the send protocol over TCP all the time 2. btl_tcp_max_send_size set to 16K which will define the size of a fragment in the pipelined send protocol. george.
