Abstract: One embodiment provides a network device. The network device includes a a processor including at least one processor core; a network interface configured to transmit and receive packets at a line rate; a memory configured to store a scheduler hierarchical data structure; and a scheduler module. The scheduler module is configured to prefetch a next active pipe structure, the next active pipe structure included in the hierarchical data structure, update credits for a current pipe and an associated subport, identify a next active traffic class within the current pipe based, at least in part, on a current pipe data structure, select a next queue associated with the identified next active traffic class, and schedule a next packet from the selected next queue for transmission by the network interface if available traffic shaping token bucket credits and available traffic class credits are greater than or equal to a next packet credits.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to an offload processor to receive data for transmission using a network interface or received in a packet by a network interface. In some examples, the offload processor can include a packet storage controller to determine whether to store data in a buffer of the offload processing device or a system memory after processing by the offload processing device. In some examples, determine whether to store data in a buffer of the offload processor or a system memory is based on one or more of: available buffer space, latency limit associated with the data, priority associated with the data, or available bandwidth through an interface between the buffer and the system memory. In some examples, the offload processor is to receive a descriptor and specify a storage location of data in the descriptor, wherein the storage location is within the buffer or the system memory.

Abstract: Technologies for distributing network packet workload are disclosed. A compute device may receive a network packet and determine network packet extrinsic entropy information that is based on information that is not part of the contents of the network packet, such as an arrival time of the network packet. The compute device may use the extrinsic entropy information to assign the network packet to one of several packet processing queues. Since the assignment of network packets to the packet processing queues depend at least in part on extrinsic entropy information, similar or even identical packets will not necessarily be assigned to the same packet processing queue.
