== Software techniques ==
Software techniques like RPS and RFS employ one of the CPU cores to steer incoming packets across the other cores of the processor. <br>
The benefits of a software solutions is the ease in implementation, without having to change any component (like the [[Network_interface_controller|NIC]]) of the currently used architecture, but by simply deploying the proper [[Loadable kernel module|kernel module]]. This benefit can be crucial especially in cases where the server machine can't be customized or accessed (like in [[Cloud computing#Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)|cloud computing]] environment), even if the network performances could be reduced as compared the hardware supported ones.
