I think a large part of that is probably because the needs for doing that kind of host to host thing aren't well understood yet for the general cases. Right now I think that's being fleshed out in the market using the whole DPU model still. I think sadly you're going to be right about how it turns out for a while and it won't be until something like CXL 6.0 or whatever comes after it that starts to really address that. I'm wondering when we'll see the first CXL DPU style device that uses some of the fancy new 800Gbps or even 1.6Tbps networking stuff that's being developed right now. That'd be enough bandwidth to put things on the other end of a data-center with very little other than the latency penalty.
