Abstract
Respective network addresses are assigned to a networking hardware device and a network function accelerator incorporated within an offloading card of a virtualization server by a control plane server of a virtualized computing service. A compute instance is launched at the virtualization server using a virtualization controller of the offloading card. The compute instance executes a network function of a radio-based application in response to a request received using the network address assigned to the hardware device, and requests execution of a second network function at the accelerator. The result of the second network function is sent to a radio unit of the application using the address assigned to the accelerator.
