Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface device. In some examples, the network interface device includes a device interface; a direct memory access (DMA) circuitry; a network interface; a processor; and circuitry to boot from a network source, obtain one or more boot images from said network source, and subsequently operate as a network boot server for at least one other device.

Abstract: A method is described. The method includes respectively adding respective identifiers of respective queues that provide packets to a CPU to a list in response to the respective queues being deemed quiet. The method includes, as a consequence of an interrupt having been generated in response to one of the respective queues having received a packet, removing the respective identifiers from the list and executing respective poll service handlers for the respective queues. The method includes disabling those of the respective poll service handlers and adding those of the respective identifiers back to the interrupt cause list for those of the respective queues that are again deemed quiet, while, continuing executing others of the respective poll service handlers for others of the respective queues that are not deemed quiet.

Abstract: Technologies for configuring network quality of service (QoS) parameters include a computing device having a network controller with a scheduler tree. The computing device creates a QoS node for a QoS parameter in a shared layer of a driver QoS tree. The node has status set to exclusive and is associated with a timestamp. If the node is associated with multiple entities, the status may be set to shared. The computing device programs the network controller with a QoS node for the QoS parameter in a shared layer of the scheduler tree. The computing device determines whether available nodes in the shared layer are below a threshold. If so, the computing device finds an oldest exclusive QoS node in the shared layer of the driver QoS tree and moves the node to an exclusive layer of the driver QoS tree and the scheduler tree. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
