Introduction

Since DPU is PCIe-compatible device, we can further combine DPU and PCIe Networking together. In R6, we introduce a hardware layer or physical link/fabric layer between the DPU and the CPUs as below. With this layer, we extend the DPU cluster size and also use the DPU management features as well.
