Dynamic processing of packets using multiple receive queue features
Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a method for managing multiple queues of a network interface card (NIC) of a host computer that executes a data compute node (DCN). The method defines first, second, and third subsets of the queues. The first subset of queues is associated with a first feature for processing data messages received by the NIC, the second subset of queues is associated with a second feature, and the third subset is associated with both features. The method receives a request from the DCN to process data messages addressed to the DCN using both the first and second features. The method configures the NIC to direct data messages received for the DCN to a queue that is selected from the third subset of queues.
