Examples described herein relate to offloading of a network layer 7 (L7) to an infrastructure processing unit (IPU) of a service grid. An apparatus described herein includes an IPU comprising: an IPU memory to store a routing table of a service grid to map a shared memory address space of the IPU and a host device executing one or more micro-services, where the service grid provides an infrastructure layer for the one or more micro-services executing on the host device; and one or more IPU cores communicatively coupled to the IPU memory, the one or more IPU cores to: hosting a network L7 proxy endpoint of the service grid, and replicating data between the IPU and a shared memory address space of the host device based on a routing table, to communicate messages between the network L7 proxy endpoint and the L7 interface devices of the one or more microservices. 本文中描述的示例涉及网络层7(L7)卸载到服务网格的基础设施处理单元(IPU)。本文中描述的装置包括IPU，该IPU包括：用于存储服务网格的路由表的IPU存储器，该路由表用于映射IPU和执行一个或多个微服务的主机设备的共享存储器地址空间，其中服务网格为在主机设备上执行的一个或多个微服务提供基础设施层；以
