Abstract
A method and system that include techniques for an offload controller that controls functionality of a programmable switch. The offload controller may handle hash management and/or hash collision resolution for the programmable switch. The offload controller may additionally or alternatively configure the programmable switch to forward packets directly to a virtual private cloud (VPC) and/or virtual machine (VM), bypassing a gateway in some instances.
