Multicore Scaling

* Inline accelerators: NICs, switches, FPGAs, etc;
-* Look-aside accelerators: chipsets, FPGAs, etc.
+* Look-aside accelerators: chipsets, FPGAs, Intel QuickAssist, etc.
Usually, to support a specific functional block, specific implementation of Packet Framework tables and/or ports and/or actions has to be provided for each accelerator,
with all the implementations sharing the same API: pure SW implementation (no acceleration), implementation using accelerator A, implementation using accelerator B, etc.
