NETWORK INTERFACE DEVICE-BASED COMPUTATIONS

Abstract:

Examples described herein relate to a switch comprising: circuitry, when operational, to receive a packet comprising a header and a payload and in conjunction with performance of computation on the packet payload, forward the packet header, but not the payload, to a destination endpoint. In some examples, the destination endpoint of the packet is to perform management of reliable transport. In some examples, the circuitry includes programmable data plane circuitry comprising ingress pipeline or egress pipeline and one or more match action units (MAUs) to perform processing of the payload, wherein the programmable data plane circuitry is to perform computation on the packet payload.
