Abstract
Technologies for buffering received network packet data include a compute device with a network interface controller (NIC) configured to determine a packet size of a network packet received by the NIC and identify a preferred buffer size between a small buffer and a large buffer. The NIC is further configured to select, from the descriptor, a buffer pointer based on the preferred buffer size, wherein the buffer pointer comprises one of a small buffer pointer corresponding to a first physical address in memory allocated to the small buffer or a large buffer pointer corresponding to a second physical address in memory allocated to the large buffer. Additionally, the NIC is configured to store at least a portion of the network packet in the memory based on the selected buffer pointer. Other embodiments are described herein.
