I don't have access behind the paywall. But from the title, if it is only telecom carriers devices, basically RISC-V and ARM chips.
Telecom giants like Huawei and ZTE use their own network processor on data plane for a long time, replacing control plane CPU (usually x86 or ARM) is not a big task. Smaller companies who relies on Broadcom solution may have a tough time, but 3 years to find a replacement and finish adaptation is not that hard too.
