    Abstract: Technologies include a network switch configured to perform packet replication. The network switch includes a network communicator, an entity manager, and a tag manager. The network communicator is to receive a data packet, and the entity manger is to identify an entity associated with the data packet and determine a tag associated with the entity. Additionally, the tag manager is to determine a packet replication configuration associated with the tag, and perform one or more per-port forwarding actions based on the packet replication configuration. The packet replication configuration includes one or more destination ports to be masked and a number of copies to be replicated to be sent out on of at least one destination port.
