Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for implementing in Network Interface Controller (NIC) flow switching. Switching operations are effected via hardware-based forwarding mechanisms in apparatus such as NICs in a manner that does not employ use of computer system processor resources and is transparent to operating systems hosted by such computer systems. The forwarding mechanisms are configured to move or copy Media Access Control (MAC) frame data between receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) queues associated with different NIC ports that may be on the same NIC or separate NICs. The hardware-based switching operations effect forwarding of MAC frames between NIC ports using memory operations, thus reducing external network traffic, internal interconnect traffic, and processor workload associated with packet processing.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for implementing in Network Interface Controller (NIC) flow switching. Switching operations are effected via hardware-based forwarding mechanisms in apparatus such as NICs in a manner that does not employ use of computer system processor resources and is transparent to operating systems hosted by such computer systems. The forwarding mechanisms are configured to move or copy Media Access Control (MAC) frame data between receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) queues associated with different NIC ports that may be on the same NIC or separate NICs. The hardware-based switching operations effect forwarding of MAC frames between NIC ports using memory operations, thus reducing external network traffic, internal interconnect traffic, and processor workload associated with packet processing.

Abstract: Technologies for aligning network flows to processing resources include a computing device having multiple processing nodes, a network switch, and a network controller operating in a software-defined network. Each processing node of the computing device may include a processor, memory, and network adapter. The network switch may receive a network packet and request forwarding information from the network controller. The network controller may determine flow information corresponding to the network packet that indicates the application targeted by the network packet and the processing node executing the application. The flow information may be transmitted to the computing device, which may program a flow filter in the network adapter of the processing node executing the application. The network controller may also transmit forwarding information to the network switch, which may forward the received network packet to the network adapter of the processing node executing the application based on the forwarding information.
