In one embodiment, a system comprises a network interface controller comprising circuitry to determine per-flow analytics information for a plurality of packet flows that are received at the network interface controller and to facilitate differential rate processing of a plurality of packet queues for the plurality of packet flows based on the per-flow analytics information.

The present disclosure provides mechanisms to optimize filter processing. Conventional filter processing techniques involve dividing a batch of received data packets into multiple Access Control Lists (ACLs) per filter group, and thus, cannot leverage of optimal ACL processing of large packet batches using the latest processor instruction sets such as 512 bit wide instructions. The filter processing techniques discussed in the present disclosure, some or all rules for a batch of packets are included in a single ACL look-up by including a filter group identifier (ID) in each rule, and also adding the filter group ID to a field of the packet undergoing the ACL look-up. This avoids false matches while also employing a single ACL look-up for an entire batch of packets, regardless of batch-size. The filter processing techniques can be applied to DOCSIS packet processing pipelines and/or other filtering mechanisms.

A service provider (SP) network device or system can enable a WiFi protected access 2 (WPA2) pass-through with a user equipment (UE) and define various partitions between a physical access point (pAP) and a virtual AP (vAP) based on virtual network function(s) (VNFs). The WPA2 pass-through can be an interface connection that passes through a computer premise equipment (CPE) or wireless residential gateway (GW) without modifying the data traffic and also enable different packet sizes, even if the vAP or data VNF at the SP network device is not configured to process the size, by fragmenting and defragmenting at least one of: a packet frame from the UE to the vAP, or from the vAP to the UE based on fragmentation criteria.
