FLOW DIRECTOR-BASED LOW LATENCY NETWORKING

摘要

Generally, this disclosure relates to low latency networking. A system may include processor circuitry comprising at least one processor; memory circuitry configured to store an application, a receive queue and a networking stack comprising a network device driver; a network controller comprising a flow director, the network controller configured to couple the host device to at least one link partner and the flow director configured to store one or more selected received packets in the receive queue, the selecting based, at least in part, on a packet flow identifier; and a network device driver configured to identify the receive queue in response to a polling request comprising the packet flow identifier; poll the receive queue; and process each received packet stored in the receive queue.
