Technologies for managing network statistic counters

One or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to being executed, cause a computing device to:

• identify, by a network interface controller (NIC) of the computing device, a statistic counter of a plurality of statistic counters and a software consumer based on a received network packet, wherein the software consumer is presently executing on the computing device;
• identify, by the NIC, an active counter page as a function of the identified software consumer, wherein the active counter page includes a plurality of counter identifier entries, and wherein each of the plurality of counter identifier entries includes a counter identifier of the statistic counter and a counter memory address of the statistic counter;
• read, by the NIC, a value of the statistic counter stored at the counter memory address of a corresponding counter identifier entry;
• increment, by the NIC, the read value of the statistic counter;
• write, by the NIC, the incremented value of the statistic counter back to the counter memory address;
• determine, by the NIC, whether a notification triggering event has been detected;
• generate, by the NIC and in response to having detected the notification triggering event, a notification message, wherein a body of the notification message includes a present value of the statistic counter and a present value of each of the other statistic counters of the active counter page;
• and
• transmit, by the NIC, the generated notification message to the software consumer.

A method for managing network statistic counters, the method comprising:

• identifying, by a network interface controller (NIC) of a computing device, a statistic counter of a plurality of statistic counters and a software consumer based on a received network packet, wherein the software consumer is presently executing on the computing device;
• identifying, by the NIC, an active counter page as a function of the identified software consumer, wherein the active counter page includes a plurality of counter identifier entries, and wherein each of the plurality of counter identifier entries includes a counter identifier of the statistic counter and a counter memory address of the statistic counter;
• reading, by the NIC, a value of the statistic counter stored at the counter memory address of a corresponding counter identifier entry;
• incrementing, by the NIC, the read value of the statistic counter;
• writing, by the NIC, the incremented value of the statistic counter back to the counter memory address;
• determining, by the NIC, whether a notification triggering event has been detected;
• generating, by the NIC and in response to having detected the notification triggering event, a notification message, wherein a body of the notification message includes a present value of the statistic counter and a present value of each of the other statistic counters of the active counter page;
• and
• transmitting, by the NIC, the generated notification message to the software consumer.
