InDPU Mode, theARM cores on BlueFieldown theNIC data path, while still allowing thehost system to access the DPU OS (via OOB or virtio).
From NVIDIA BlueField Documentation:
"In DPU Mode, the data path is offloaded to the BlueField Arm cores, enabling advanced security and networking functions, while still allowing host access to the BlueField OS."
This is different from:
NIC Mode: Data path controlled by host, ARM cores inactive.
