US Patent 10305813 Socket management with reduced latency packet processing

Generally, this disclosure provides systems, methods and computer readable media for management of sockets and device queues for reduced latency packet processing. The method may include maintaining a unique-list comprising entries identifying device queues and an associated unique socket for each of the device queues, the unique socket selected from a plurality of sockets configured to receive packets; busy-polling the device queues on the unique-list; receiving a packet from one of the plurality of sockets; and updating the unique-list in response to detecting that the received packet was provided by an interrupt processing module. The updating may include identifying a device queue associated with the received packet; identifying a socket associated with the received packet; and if the identified device queue is not on one of the entries on the unique-list, creating a new entry on the unique-list, the new entry comprising the identified device queue and the identified socket.
