A packet processing technique can include receiving a packet, and parsing the packet based on a protocol field to generate a parse result vector. The parse result vector is used to select between forwarding the packet to a virtual machine executing on a host processing integrated circuit, forwarding the packet to a physical media access controller, multicasting the packet to multiple virtual machines executing on the host processing integrated circuit, and sending the packet to a hypervisor.

Examples are disclosed for access to a storage device maintained at a server. In some examples, a network input/output device coupled to the server may allocate, in a memory of the server, a buffer, a doorbell, and a queue pair accessible to a client remote to the server. For these examples, the network input/output device may assign an Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) namespace context to the client. For these examples, indications of the allocated buffer, doorbell, queue pair, and namespace context may be transmitted to the client. Other examples are described and claimed.

Various embodiments are generally directed to securing systems that include hardware accelerators, such as FPGA-based accelerators, and privileged system components. Some embodiments may provide a security broker. In various embodiments, the security broker may provide interfaces between the hardware accelerator and the privileged component. Some embodiments may receive an instruction from the hardware accelerator targeting the privileged component, and validate the instruction based on a configuration. In some embodiments, upon determining the instruction is not validated, the instruction is restricted from further processing.

Technologies for load balancing a storage network include a system. The system includes circuitry to adjust routing rules in a network interface controller to deliver a packet from one of multiple uplinks to one of any physical functions, circuitry to remap, in response to a failure of a switch, a port from one physical function to another physical function, and circuitry to communicate control data between a software defined network controller and one or more agents in one or more host endpoints with a hierarchical distributed hashing table.
