Zusammenfassung:A network interface card (140) with traffic shaping capabilities and methods of network traffic shaping with a network interface card (140) are provided. The network interface card (140) and method can shape traffic originating from one or more applications (150a-c) executing on a host network device. The applications (150a-c) can execute in a virtual machine or containerized computing environment. The network interface card (140) and method can perform or include several traffic shaping mechanisms including, for example and without limitation, a delayed completion mechanism, a time-indexed data structure (130), a packet builder (147), and a memory manager (147).
