Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)  

The NVIDIA DPF Solution allows for customers to offload and accelerate their networking by using NVIDIA BlueField 3 DPUs. The solution not only manages the deployment and configuration of the DPUs, but also configures OVN-Kubernetes to run in a mode where its networking can be accelerated.
