Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for performing data message processing at a smart NIC of a computer that executes a software forwarding element (SFE). The method determines whether a received data message matches an entry in a data message classification cache stored on the smart NIC based on data message classification results of the SFE. When the data message matches an entry, the method determines whether the matched entry is valid by comparing a timestamp of the entry to a set of rules stored on the smart NIC. When the matched entry is valid, the method processes the data message according to the matched entry without providing the data message to the SFE executing on the computer.
