QUEUE SCALING BASED, AT LEAST, IN PART, ON PROCESSING LOAD

Abstract:

Examples described herein relate to one or more processors that execute a number of polling threads based on a number of queue identifiers, wherein at least one of the queue identifiers is associated with one or more queues. In some examples, the one or more processors selectively adjust a number of queue identifiers based on a load level of a queue. In some examples, the load level of a queue indicates a number of packets processed per unit of time. In some examples, the number of queue identifiers is no more than a number of configured queues. In some examples, the one or more queues are associated with a queue exclusively allocated to a thread for reading or writing.
