CONFIGURABLE RECEIVE BUFFER SIZE

Abstract:

Examples described herein relate to a network interface device comprising circuitry to: allocate a first number of buffers to store received packets associated with a first descriptor ring; allocate a second number of buffers to store received packets associated with a second descriptor ring; and based on receipt of a packet, copy the received packet into a number of buffers based on whether the received packet is associated with the first descriptor ring or the second descriptor ring. In some examples, the circuitry is to copy the received packet starting at an offset from a start of a starting buffer in a number of buffers, wherein the offset is based on whether the received packet is associated with the first descriptor ring or the second descriptor ring and wherein the number of buffers is based on whether the received packet is associated with the first descriptor ring or the second descriptor ring.
