+SD-Core Architecture
+--------------------
+SD-Core architecture enables the following distinct features:
+
+    - All SD-Core components follow 3GPP standards to interface with others as well as the
+      external networks and systems (e.g., RAN, communication services, etc.). As such,
+      components can be consumed independently and be used as part of a multi-vendor
+      mobile core deployment.
+    - SD-Core’s 5G core control plane functions leverage seed code from the free5GC project,
+      upon which the SD-Core community has implemented numerous architectural changes that
+      are integrated and optimized with SD-Core’s set of UPF solutions along with several
+      new features
+    - The solution enables 4G, 5G Standalone (SA) and 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) connectivity.
+    - The architecture is fully disaggregated, composed of containerized components. Helm charts are
+      provided to deploy SD-Core on K8s cluster.
+    - The platform is configurable in runtime via an extensible set of APIs.
+    - The solution is consumable as a cloud-managed service.
+    - All interfaces are designed to be robust in order to handle all network errors including but
+      not limited to packet loss, peer network function failure, and duplicate packets.
+    - SD-Core’s 4G Core is designed to have a CUPS (Control-User Plane Separation) compliant architecture and
+      uses the 3GPP Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) to implement CUPS
+    - SD-Core’s 4G control plane has been enhanced to provide functional support for 5G Nonstandalone
+      operation with compliant eNBs and gNBs as per 3GPP specifications. 5G NSA related enhancements
+      include support of the extended bearer rates on required interfaces as well as the 5G NSA attributes
+      in the HSS.

-SD-Core architecture is modular and apis are provided to manage connectivity service.
+In SD-Core, a connected device is assigned to a UPF based on the network-wide slice configuration.
+Specifically, in 5G core, the SMF uses the network slice information received in the user session
+context as well as the Data Network Name (DNN) information received from AMF to select the serving
+UPF. In the case of 4G core, the SPGW-C uses the the Access Point Name (APN) information to select
+the serving UPF.

+Network Slicing
+---------------
 
-Architecture Diagram showing SD-Core box
-----------------------------------------
-- Diagram should show ROC interface, prometheus interface, UPF interface, gNB/eNB interface
+Network slicing is one of the most important features of the 5G core network. Network
+slicing helps in isolating the network for various business and use cases. In the disaggregated
+service-based architecture of 5G core, this isolation may include only the UPF or also a subset
+of the control plane services such as the SMF. However, mobile core control functions that
+are responsible for managing user mobility, user authentication, and network slicing need
+to remain centralized across all slices. SD-Core provides the necessary APIs to manage
+network slices using external agents. ONF’s ROC, pre-integrated with SD-Core, allows for this
+central management via portals as well as automation. If the management requires
+instantiation of a new UPF and/or a new SMF instance, ROC oversees this by interacting with
+edge cloud or hyperscale container management services to provision such new network
+function instances.
+
+Once all mobile core service instances are provisioned for a new slice, ROC uses SD-Core
+APIs to configure the slice as well as all required central network functions. SD-Core provides
+APIs to create and configure network slices and assign resources to each slice. Operators can
+assign a slice for a group of users/devices based on the use case. The behavior of each slice
+is configurable and can be dynamically changed during run time. SD-Core’s architecture
+supports assigning dedicated network functions to a specific slice or providing logical
+separation if network functions are to be shared among various slices. Various QoS and
+access policies can be applied to each slice to control the assigned resources as well as IP
+connectivity and access control within each slice.
+Operators can create new slices based on criteria such as isolating devices allowed to access
+specific packet data networks/edge applications or keeping all devices or flows with the
+same QoS classification grouped under one slice. Network slice selection is achieved through
+3GPP-specified network functions like Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF) and Network
+Repository Function (NRF). NSSF helps in mapping the device/flow to a specific slice and
+steering the device/flow traffic to the right set of core network elements. SD-Core’s 5G
+implementation natively includes both NSSF and NRF for slice selection.
+As described earlier, SD-Core’s P4-based dual-core UPF allows for the monitoring of all
+4G/5G traffic with fine-grained granularity using INT. This effectively means that with the P4-
+based dual-core UPF, it is possible to conduct per packet network monitoring to track
+whether slice-specific SLAs are being met and automatically adapt network behavior by
+changing per slice resource allocations, QoS priorities etc., to automatically sustain the
+required network performance using closed-loop control.
+
+SD-Core Deployment Options
+--------------------------
+
+The level of disaggregation and associated optimizations achieved for each component of
+its 4G and 5G control plane makes SD-Core suitable for a wide variety of deployment
+options. These optimizations include the capability for the 4G and 5G control planes to
+oversee many UPFs, potentially instantiated at geographically diverse locations, as illustrated
+It is possible to deploy all components of SD-Core collocated in an edge cloud or a central
+cloud for private consumption. It is also possible to distribute the components of SD-Core
+across multiple clouds, edge and central, to deliver a cloud-managed multi-tenant
+connectivity service. In this distributed deployment option, SD-Core’s control plane will run
+on a central/hyperscaler cloud and control multiple user planes running on different onpremises
+edge clouds, potentially serving distinct customers as illustrated in Figure 8. In this
+deployment, the 4G and 5G control plane functions can scale as necessary. Each customer
+site can have more than one UPF deployed depending on the use cases and network slices
+configured. Operators can also decide to deploy UPFs in the central cloud for certain
+customers and their use cases where latency and data privacy is not a concern. SD-Core
+brings the flexibility to define network slices for each customer in such a way that one
+deploys a distinct UPF for each slice and instantiates the various components of the solution
+at the customer edge or in the central cloud, as needed and best suited.
+
+

+
+SD-Core’s hybrid cloud deployment is an important enabler for a managed 4G/5G
+connectivity service where each customer site may be deployed to serve a different set of
+use cases and may have different types of underlying cloud environments. The 4G/5G core
+control planes running on the central cloud have been designed and optimized to support
+distributed edge sites which are spread across different locations across the world. The
+SD-Core control plane uses PFCP to communicate with the UPFs at the edge sites. The hybrid
+cloud deployment architecture has been optimized to handle variability in encountered
+delays communicating with the remote edge sites and is equipped to handle potential
+packet losses and retransmissions to support a multi-tenant, distributed geography
+deployment.

-dataplane (UPF) components integrated into custom designed solutions. This range
-of versatility makes the open source SD-Core platform ideally suited for the
-broadest range of use cases and deployment scenarios.
+Its centralized dual-mode mobile core control plane has been designed to control many UPFs
+distributed across many edge clouds around the world. This makes SD-Core the ideal open
+source platform to offer cloud-based Private 4G/5G connectivity services to enterprises
+as an enabler for Industry 4.0 transformation.
+
+SD-Core provides a rich set of APIs for runtime configurability of each of its services, as well
+as supporting subscriber management via third party applications. These APIs provide
+extensive telemetry capabilities that enable monitoring, logging, and alerts, with integrated
+verification and closed-loop control solutions. With operator and customer facing portals,
+SD-Core can be configured for dynamically programmable network slicing, subscriber, QoS
+and policy management, providing precise access control for users, devices, data networks
+and edge applications.
