Tip 226: is Azure Accelerated Networking based on FPGA-based SmartNIC or Mellanox NIC #94

I am a bit confused because both FPGA-based SmartNIC and Mellanox CX3 are mentioned in the article: https://microsoft.github.io/AzureTipsAndTricks/blog/tip226.html. Thank you!

Never mind. I found the answer: the FPGA is integrated with a Mellanox NIC in a bump-in-the-wire fashion.
