In general, in one aspect, computer program instructions are to cause, when executed, at least one processor to determine a transmit queue from many transmit queues to associate with a connection, store an identifier of the transmit queue in a connection socket structure associated with the connection, and access the identifier of the transmit queue from a connection socket structure associated with a connection of an egress packet.

Transmit scaling using multiple queues

A computer system may comprise a second device operating as a producer that may steer data units to a first device operating as a consumer. A processing core of the first device may wake-up the second device after generating a first data unit. The second device may generate steering values after retrieving a first data unit directly from the cache of the first device. The second device may populate a flow table with a plurality of entries using the steering values. The second device may receive a packet over a network and store the packet directly into the cache of the first device using a first steering value. The second device may direct an interrupt signal to the processing core of the first device using a second steering value.

Steering data units to a consumer

According to some embodiments, it may be determined, at a first processing element of a device with a plurality of processing elements, that first data is to be transmitted in association with a first network connection. A first entry associated with the first data may then be stored into a first of a plurality of transmit queues. It may subsequently be determined, at a second processing element of the device, that second data is to be transmitted in association with the first network connection. A second entry associated with the second data may then be stored into a second of the plurality of transmit queues.
