A network device (ND) includes packet processing circuitry and performance optimization circuitry. The packet processing circuitry is connected to a network and is configured to process communication packets for communicating over the network. The packet processing circuitry includes a plurality of configuration registers for setting one or more operation parameters of the ND. The performance optimization circuitry is configured to improve a performance measure of the ND by iteratively calculating the performance measure and adjusting values of one or more of the configuration registers based on the performance measure.

Real time performance tuning of network devices

A method includes receiving a plurality of rules for processing packets arriving at at least one packet-processing device, the rules being based on multiple parameters associated with the packets. The method further includes causing the packet-processing device to process multiple subsets of the packets using different respective sequences of packet-processing instructions, which implement the rules via different respective parameter-value-ascertaining orders for ascertaining respective values of the parameters for each of the packets. The method further includes, based on the processing of the subsets, computing respective scores for the sequences of packet-processing instructions. The method further includes, based on the scores, selecting one of the sequences of packet-processing instructions. The method further includes causing the packet-processing device to process the packets using the selected sequence of packet-processing instructions. Other embodiments are also described.
