Abstract
Technologies for configuring flexible hardware-accelerated rules in a Service Function Chaining (SFC) architecture are described. A DPU includes an acceleration hardware engine to provide a single accelerated data plane, and a processing device that generates a first virtual bridge and a second virtual bridge. The first virtual bridge is controlled by a first network service hosted on the DPU and has a first set of one or more network rules. The second virtual bridge has a second set of one or more user-defined network rules. The processing device generates a combined set of network rules based on the first set of one or more network rules and the second set of one or more user-defined network rules. The acceleration hardware engine processes network traffic data in the single accelerated data plane using the combined set of network rules.
