Examples include a method of switching a packet by a virtual switch by receiving a system call to transmit a packet from a first application running in a first container on a first core, determining a destination for the packet, obtaining a buffer in an application memory space of the destination, copying the packet to the destination application memory space, and writing an entry for the packet to a queue assigned to the destination, the destination queue being in a queue manager. The packet may then be obtained by an entity at the destination.

Virtual switch scaling for networking applications

Technologies for dynamic multi-core packet processing distribution include a compute device having a distributor core, a direct memory access (DMA) engine, and multiple worker cores. The distributor core writes work data to a distribution buffer. The work data is associated with a packet processing operation. The distributor core may perform a work distribution operation to generate the work data. The work data may be written to a private cache of the distributor core. The distributor core programs the DMA engine to copy the work data from the distribution buffer to a shadow buffer. The DMA engine may copy the work data from one cache line of a shared cache to another cache line of the shared cache. The worker cores access the work data in the shadow buffer. The worker cores may perform the packet processing operation with the work data. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
