An example system comprises a plurality of servers comprising respective network interface cards (NICs) connected by physical links in a physical topology, wherein each NIC of the plurality of NICs comprises an embedded switch and a processing unit coupled to the embedded switch; and an edge services controller configured to program the processing unit of a network interface card of the plurality of network interface cards to: receive, at a first network interface of the NIC, a data packet from a physical device; based on the data packet being received at the first network interface, modify the data packet to generate a modified data packet; and output the modified data packet to the physical device via a second network interface of the NIC.

Extending switch fabric processing to network interface cards

A system comprises an edge services controller configured to: compute, based on a physical topology of physical links that connect a plurality of network interface cards (NICs) that comprise embedded switches and processing units coupled to the embedded switches, a virtual topology comprising a strict subset of the physical links; and program the virtual topology into the respective processing units of the NICs to cause the processing units of the NICs to send data packets via physical links in the strict subset of the physical links.
