Abstract:
Certain embodiments described herein are generally directed to configuring an extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) fast path. In some embodiments, a fixed-length array of actions is generated and loaded into the eBPF fast path, where each element of the array indicates a type of action for execution on a packet received by the eBPF fast path. In some embodiments, the eBPF fast path is loaded with a number of eBPF programs, each configured to execute a different type of action.
