Claim 15:
16. One or more non-transitory computer-accessible storage media storing program instructions that when executed on or across one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
execute, a radio-based application pipeline processing server located at a site of a radio access network (RAN), wherein the radio-based application pipeline processing server implements at least a portion of a distributed unit (DU) of a radio-based application of the RAN;
select, at the radio-based application pipeline processing server, a particular networking hardware device from among a plurality of networking hardware devices of the radio-based application pipeline processing server to use to transmit at least a portion of mid-haul traffic of the radio-based application to a centralized unit (CU) of the radio-based application, wherein selecting the particular networking hardware device includes determining whether to use (a) a first networking hardware device incorporated within a first network function accelerator card of the radio-based application pipeline processing server, or (b) a second networking hardware device which is not incorporated within the first network function accelerator card;
cause the portion of mid-haul traffic to be transmitted from the radio-based application pipeline processing server to the CU via the particular networking hardware device; and
cause at least a portion of front-haul traffic of the radio-based application to be transmitted from the radio-based application pipeline processing server to a radio unit (RU) of the radio-based application via the first networking hardware device.
