Abstract
A Data Processing Unit (DPU) control/management offload system includes a first networking device that is coupled to a DPU. The first networking device identifies the DPU, and generates a first virtual networking device in the first networking device for the DPU. The first networking device then offloads control protocol(s) and/or management operation(s) from the DPU using the first virtual networking device, which may include receiving a control communication that is directed to the DPU, determining that the control communication utilizes the control protocol(s) and, in response, redirecting the control communication to the first virtual networking device and processing the control communication using the first virtual networking device. The processing the control communication using the first virtual networking device may include at least one of: programming the DPU based on the control communication, programming route(s) in the first virtual networking device, or transmitting a control communication response.
