Abstract
Technologies for flow rule aware exact match cache compression include multiple computing devices in communication over a network. A computing device reads a network packet from a network port and extracts one or more key fields from the packet to generate a lookup key. The key fields are identified by a key field specification of an exact match flow cache. The computing device may dynamically configure the key field specification based on an active flow rule set. The computing device may compress the key field specification to match a union of non-wildcard fields of the active flow rule set. The computing device may expand the key field specification in response to insertion of a new flow rule. The computing device looks up the lookup key in the exact match flow cache and, if a match is found, applies the corresponding action. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
