Abstract
Technologies for dynamic statistics management include a computing device with a network interface controller (NIC) and a compute engine having a memory. The NIC is to provision a counter window to a software consumer executing in the computing device. The counter window is used to track a plurality of active counters associated with a network flow. The NIC determines whether one or more flush criteria are triggered. In so determining, the NIC transfers a value for each active counter to the memory, where global counter values are maintained.
