Abstract
Examples described herein relate to a network device apparatus that includes a network interface card to process a received packet. In some examples, based on the received packet only including one or more frames for which acknowledgement of receipt is offloaded to the network interface card, generate an acknowledgement (ACK) message to acknowledge receipt of the received packet. In some examples, a frame for which acknowledgement of receipt is offloaded to the network interface card comprises a STREAM frame compatible with quick User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Internet Connections (QUIC). In some examples, a computing platform is coupled to the network interface card. In some examples, based on the received packet only including any frame for which acknowledgement of receipt is not offloaded to the network interface, the computing platform is to generate an ACK message for the received packet.
