Abstract:
Technologies for aligning network flows to processing resources include a computing device having multiple processing nodes, a network switch, and a network controller operating in a software-defined network. Each processing node of the computing device may include a processor, memory, and network adapter. The network switch may receive a network packet and request forwarding information from the network controller. The network controller may determine flow information corresponding to the network packet that indicates the application targeted by the network packet and the processing node executing the application. The flow information may be transmitted to the computing device, which may program a flow filter in the network adapter of the processing node executing the application. The network controller may also transmit forwarding information to the network switch, which may forward the received network packet to the network adapter of the processing node executing the application based on the forwarding information.
Abstract:
An embodiment may include circuitry in a controller that may be included in a host that has at least one processor. The circuitry may maintain a correlation between a set of network addresses and a set of medium access control (MAC) addresses. The correlation may be generated, at least in part, by at least one process to be executed, at least in part, by the at least one processor. The circuitry may determine, based at least in part upon the set of network addresses, whether to generate at least one response to at least one request. If the circuitry determines to generate the at least one response, the circuitry may generate the at least one response based at least in part upon the correlation and at least one network address associated with the at least one request. Many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible.
