Load balancing and networking policy performance for packet processing pipelines

The invention relates to load balancing and networking policy performance for packet processing pipelines. Examples described herein relate to a network interface device. In some examples, packet processing circuitry in a network interface device is to receive a first packet, and, based on the first packet being associated with an identifier for which no entry is present in a lookup table accessible by the packet processing circuitry, the packet processing circuitry provides an identifier for the first packet and provides an action for the identifier of the first packet, and causing the first packet to configure a second lookup table accessible to the packet processing circuitry with the action of the identifier. 本公开涉及分组处理流水线的负载平衡和联网策略性能。本文所述的示例涉及网络接口设备。在一些示例中，网络接口设备中的分组处理电路用于接收第一分组，并且，基于第一分组与在分组处理电路可访问的查找表中不存在条目的标识符相关联，分组处理电路为第一分组提供标识符并且为第一分组的标识符提供动作，并且使第一分组利用标识符的动作来配置分组处理电路可访问的第二查找表。
