Abstract
Technologies for processing network packets a compute device with a network interface controller (NIC) that includes a host interface, a packet processor, and a network interface. The host interface is configured to receive a transaction from the compute engine, wherein the transaction includes latency-sensitive data, determine a context of the latency-sensitive data, and verify the latency-sensitive data against one or more server policies as a function of the determined context. The packet processor is configured to identify a trust associated with the latency-sensitive data, determine whether to verify the latency-sensitive data against one or more network policies as a function of the identified trust, apply the one or more network policies, and encapsulate the latency-sensitive data into a network packet. The network interface is configured to transmit the network packet via an associated Ethernet port of the NIC. Other embodiments are described herein.
