-### Running UPF in DPDK mode
-
-By default, UPF runs in `af_packet` mode. To run UPF in `dpdk` mode, `upf-mode` config option 
-should be used, i.e.:
-
-```shell
-juju deploy sdcore-upf --trust --channel=edge --config upf-mode="dpdk" --config enable-hugepages=True --config access-interface-mac-address="00:b0:d0:63:c2:26" --config core-interface-mac-address="00:b0:d0:63:c2:36"
-```
-
-As shown in the example above, when running UPF in `dpdk` mode, it is necessary to enable
-HugePages and pass the MAC addresses of the `Access` and `Core` interfaces.
-
-```{note}
-Example command shown above assumes using default network configuration. If needed, network configs
-should be changed to match the actual configuration.
-```
