The linked article states that DPUs behave like a PCIe device implementing the NVME protocol but instead of directly connected storage it can forward requests over network (fabric) via NVMeoF.
This doesn't look like a generic PCIe over network/fabric bridge. Did I misunderstand you or did I fail to locate that information in the linked article?
- wmf 6y agoIt's specifically NVMe over network, not PCIe over network.
