Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for synchronizing state between multiple smart NICs of a host computer that perform operations using dynamic state information. At a first smart NIC of the plurality of smart NICs, the method stores a set of dynamic state information. The method synchronizes the set of dynamic state information across a communication channel that connects the smart NICs so that each of the smart NICs also stores the set of dynamic state information.

Abstract: Example methods and computer systems are provided for filter-based packet handling at a virtual network adapter. The method may comprise: receiving an ingress packet destined for the virtualized computing instance that is supported by the host and connected to the virtual network adapter; and matching the ingress packet to one of multiple filters configured for the virtual network adapter. The multiple filters may include a first filter specifying one or more first packet characteristics and a second filter specifying one or more second packet characteristics. The method may also comprise: in response to matching the ingress packet to the first filter, assigning the ingress packet to a first packet queue; and in response to matching the ingress packet to the second filter, assigning the ingress packet to a second packet queue.
