If the local node transmits a command to write with no reply, the remote
node never transmits a reply (Figure 2.6). If the local node transmits a
command to write with reply, when the remote node interface receives
the token, it transmits a reply message to indicate whether it was able to
successfully write into the host's memory (Figure 2.7).

If the local node host transmits a command to write verified, the local
node interface first transmits a command to write with reply. When the
remote node interface receives the token, it transmits a reply message to
indicate whether it was able to successfully write into the host's memory.
When the local node interface receives the token again, it then
automatically transmits a command to read that same block of data. After
the remote node interface writes the data into its host's memory, it reads
that data from the host's memory. When the remote node receives the
token, the remote node interface then transmits this data back to the local
