 Some smartNICs use an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) mounted on the PCIe network card. Using FPGA boards provides flexibility, they can be easily programmed and updated once installed. (P4-Programmable Protocol-independent Packet Processor- can be used for programming packet forwarding planes.)
 
-Some smartNICs do not use an FPGA, they are less flexible but still capable of doing lots of things, at a significantly lower price.

 SmartNICs might use ARM CPUs in a RISC architecure or x86 CPUs, different amounts of RAM, they can consume more or less power.
 SmartNICs can have different form factors HHHL(half hight half lenght) if you need to fit it in a 2Us compute  or FHFL full hight full lenght for wider than 2Us computes.

  Before we take a break and grab those beers, kindly arranged by CN, I have two things to add.
-1. I'd like to express my deepest gratitude to a person that inspires me quite a lot. Many of you know him, his name is FH and if you have never heard about this person, you're missing out... big time. I  attended one of his hands on workshops at OpenStack Nordics, by chance, then I found him on Twitter, then on YouTube, then I found his awesome blog. In the spirit of sharing my astounding discovery, I ran to my colleagues ”have y’all seen this guys blog???” Some of them replied ” oh yeah, we've been reading his posts for years, he's really good!!” Argh, the kind of valuable information people don't share. Seriously, check out his talks on YouTube and his blog!
