Abstract: A computing device includes an appliance status table to store at least one of reliability and performance data for one or more network functions virtualization (NFV) appliances and one or more legacy network appliances. The computing device includes a load controller to configure an Internet Protocol (IP) filter rule to select a packet for which processing of the packet is to be migrated from a selected one of the one or more legacy network appliances to a selected one of the one or more NFV appliances, and to update the appliance status table with received at least one of reliability and performance data for the one or more legacy network appliances and the one or more NFV appliances. The computing device includes a packet distributor to receive the packet, to select one of the one or more NFV appliances based at least in part on the appliance status table, and to send the packet to the selected NFV appliance. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Technologies for buffering received network packet data include a compute device with a network interface controller (NIC) configured to determine a packet size of a network packet received by the NIC and identify a preferred buffer size between a small buffer and a large buffer. The NIC is further configured to select, from the descriptor, a buffer pointer based on the preferred buffer size, wherein the buffer pointer comprises one of a small buffer pointer corresponding to a first physical address in memory allocated to the small buffer or a large buffer pointer corresponding to a second physical address in memory allocated to the large buffer. Additionally, the NIC is configured to store at least a portion of the network packet in the memory based on the selected buffer pointer. Other embodiments are described herein.
