ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving a first packet associated with a first network flow in a first descriptor queue associated with a first hardware thread, receiving a marker in the first descriptor queue to indicate migration of the first network flow from the first hardware thread to a second hardware thread, and processing a second packet of the first network flow following the first packet in order in the second hardware thread.
