Abstract
A network interface card (NIC) can be configured to monitor a first central processing unit (CPU) core mapped to a first receive queue having a receive queue length. The NIC can also be configured to determine whether the CPU core is overloaded based on the receive queue length. The NIC can also be configured to redirect data packets that were targeted from the first receive queue to the CPU core to another CPU core responsive to a determination that the CPU core is overloaded.
