Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to partition a resource into a plurality of partitions and allocate a reserved portion and a corresponding burst portion in each of the plurality of partitions. Each of the allocated reserved portions and corresponding burst portions are reserved for a specific component or application, where any part of the allocated burst portion not being used by the specific component or application can be used by other components and/or applications.

Abstract: Technologies for load-aware traffic steering include a compute device that includes a multi-homed network interface controller (NIC) with a plurality of NICs. The compute device determines a target virtual network function (VNF) of a plurality of VNFs to perform a processing operation on a network packet. The compute device further identifies a first steering point of a first NIC to steer the received network packet to virtual machines (VMs) associated with the target VNF and retrieves a resource utilization metric that corresponds to a usage level of a component of the compute device used by the VMs to process the network packet. Additionally, the compute device determines whether the resource utilization metric indicates a potential overload condition and provides a steering instruction to a second steering point of a second NIC that is usable to redirect the network traffic to the other VMs via the identified second steering point.
