Abstract
A network adapter includes a host interface, a network interface, a packet processor, and a telemetry handler. The host interface is to communicate with a host. The network interface is to send packets to a network. The packet processor is to process the packets prior to sending the packets to the network. The telemetry handler is to receive from the host, over the host interface, an indication specifying a flow or application, to mark one or more packets associated with the flow or application with a specified identifier in response to the indication, and to send the marked packets using the packet processor to the network via the network interface.
