Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses, including network interface controllers and computer-readable media, for traffic shaping offload. A network computing device can receive data packets for transmission and implement a traffic policy that includes transmitting at least some data packets without delay to their intended destination. Confirmation tokens for non-delayed packets can be queued in a time-indexed data structure and dequeued according to a traffic shaping policy. Confirmation tokens can be generated and stored independent of the time at which corresponding packets for the tokens are transmitted. Dequeued confirmation tokens can cause the network computing device to receive additional packets for transmission. The device can flag at least some packets for transmission without delay according to aspects of the disclosure, while un-flagged packets can be shaped according to a different traffic shaping policy.
