Methods and apparatus for low latency operation in user space networking

One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to:

• allocate a first resource of the computing device for a first traffic class and a second resource of the computing device for a second traffic class, wherein the first traffic class is associated with a user space low latency application and the second traffic class is associated with non-low latency applications;
• cause the user space low latency application to request low latency operations from a kernel space application via a low latency agent;
• and
• transact the first traffic class via the first resource and the second traffic class via the second resource.

A method performed by a computing device, comprising:

• allocating a first resource of the computing device for a first traffic class and a second resource of the computing device for a second traffic class, wherein the first traffic class is associated with a user space low latency application and the second traffic class is associated with non-low latency applications;
• causing the user space low latency application to request low latency operations from a kernel space application via a low latency agent;
• and
• transacting the first traffic class via the first resource and the second traffic class via the second resource.
