1. An apparatus for wireless communication at an open radio access network (O-RAN) distributed unit (O-DU), comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
generate, at an O-DU application that executes on the O-DU, a first message that does not make use of an O-DU accelerator of the O-DU,
wherein the O-DU accelerator is in-line between the O-DU application and an O-RAN radio unit (O-RU); and
transmit, from the O-DU application to the O-RU, the first message via a passthrough of the O-DU accelerator,
wherein the first message passes through the O-DU accelerator based at least in part on a payload of the first message being transferred unchanged by the O-DU accelerator to the O-RU.
