Abstract
Technologies for optimizing performance of virtual switches in networking and accelerated computing are described. A virtual switch can identify an addition of a first data path (DP) rule in a flow table. The virtual switch can determine that the first DP rule and a second DP rule in the flow table overlap. The addition of the first DP rule causes the second DP rule to be deleted in the flow table. Before the second DP rule is deleted, the virtual switch can simulate receipt of a simulated packet comprising the specified portion of the network header corresponding to a second DP rule identifier of the second DP rule. The receipt of the simulated packet causes a third DP rule to be added to the flow table. After the third DP rule is added, the virtual switch can delete the second DP rule.
