Bluefield-3 DPU vs Supernic

Infrastructure & Networking BlueField

I am a bit confused about the difference between BF3 DPUs and Supernics.
In particular, I would like to know if the Supernics support the following:

  1. DOCA DPA
  2. DOCA DPL

According to DPL Development Container:

The DPL is supported on of the NVIDIA® BlueField® networking platforms (DPUs, or SuperNICs in DPU-mode).

So i guess DPL is supported. But what about DPA?

Hello,

DPA, same as in DPL, is supported on BF3 DPUs and on SuperNics (DPU mode only).
If there are still any additional questions, please feel free to open a case with enterprisesupport@nvidia.com, and it will be handled based on entitlement.

Thanks,
Jonathan.
