Technologies for adaptive network packet egress scheduling

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

• configure an eligibility table for a plurality of ports of the switch, wherein the eligibility table includes a plurality of rounds;
• retrieve an eligible mask corresponding to a round of a plurality of rounds of the eligibility table presently being scheduled, wherein the eligible mask indicates an eligible status of each of the plurality of ports, and wherein the eligible status indicates whether a respective port of the eligible mask is eligible to be serviced in the round;
• determine a ready mask that indicates a ready status of each of the plurality of ports, wherein the ready status indicates whether a respective port of the ready mask is available to be serviced;
• determine, for each port, whether the eligible status and the ready status indicate that port is both eligible and ready;
• and
• schedule, in response to a determination that at least one port has been determined to be both eligible and ready, each of the at least one port that has been determined to be both eligible and ready.
