I am wondering if there is an update in the near future for AN-956, OAI
Reference Architecture for 5G and 6G Research with USRP.  If there is
anything presently in draft form, I am wondering if you would be willing to
share it prior to release.  I am just starting to work with OAI software
and I noticed that the Ettus application note references older versions of
software (both OAI and UHD).

The latest OAI software seems to simplify some of the setup. For example,
perhaps Ubuntu 24.04 has built-in configurability of low-latency settings
such that installation of a low-latency kernel is not needed or even
recommended.  Additionally, the docker deployment for the OAI core network
appears to be simpler from the user installation & launching perspective.

Thanks.
Rob

There are a few ANs that need to be updated, and I've copied Neel
Pandeya, who kind of "owns" the list of ANs.  He's on this mailing
  list, but very often busy with other things...
