Terabit-scale network packet processing via flow-level parallelization

摘要

In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for organizing terabit-scale packet volumes into flows for downstream processing stages. For instance, in one example, a method includes extracting a first flow key from a first data packet, inputting the first flow key into a hash function to obtain a first output value, selecting a first partition in a memory to which to store the first data packet, wherein the first partition is selected based on the first output value, and storing the first data packet to the first partition.
