Abstract
A network interface controller that is connected to a host and a packet communications network. The network interface controller includes electrical circuitry configured as a packet processing pipeline with a plurality of stages. It is determined in the network interface controller that at least a portion of the stages of the pipeline are acceleration-defined stages. Packets are processed in the pipeline by transmitting data to an accelerator from the acceleration-defined stages, performing respective acceleration tasks on the transmitted data in the accelerator, and returning processed data from the accelerator to receiving stages of the pipeline.
