I'm guessing they are talking about software that will take advantage of the hardware. If so, then "yet be flexible and extendable" means that the program should take advantage of current hardware but not be so closely tied to it (the hardware) that it (the software) can't be easily modified and expanded as new hardware becomes available (emerges).

Thank you RayH,

But I wonder whether it is "The approach should take advatage of hardware features yet be flexible and extendable since novel network hardware is emerging quickl?."

or "The approach should take advatage of hardware features yet to be flexible and extendable since novel network hardware is emerging quickl?.
