I agree as well, on the networking aspect since based on their diagram they are utilizing Intel NICs which Intel provides this DPDK to bypass the kernel space and access the hardware from the application itself.

Now my question is how portable Scylla be in terms of NIC vendors?

I believe dpdk supports non-Intel NICs as well. Would also be interesting to compare scylla with kernel networking vs Cassandra.
