BESS-based User Plane Function (BESS-UPF)
=========================================

.. note::

    We are transitioning BESS-UPF from SD-Core to SD-Fabric.
    We are also working on consolidating interfaces required by BESS-UPF to simplify deployment.
    More documentation and architectural contents are coming shortly once these are done.
    For now, please refer to :ref:`BESS UPF Deployment <aether:edge_deployment/bess_upf_deployment:bess upf deployment>`
    to learn more about how to configure and deploy BESS-UPF.
