Abstract

Technologies for distributing network packet workload are disclosed. A compute device may receive a network packet and determine network packet extrinsic entropy information that is based on information that is not part of the contents of the network packet, such as an arrival time of the network packet. The compute device may use the extrinsic entropy information to assign the network packet to one of several packet processing queues. Since the assignment of network packets to the packet processing queues depend at least in part on extrinsic entropy information, similar or even identical packets will not necessarily be assigned to the same packet processing queue.
