Note that OAI uses F1 "internally". That means, that even **if you run a

expect that everything working in a monolithic deployment should also work in
F1. The current implementation is based on R16.3.

The rules to decide if a config triggers a start of a DU, CU, or monolithic
gNB, are, in order:
1. If the `MACRLCs` section lists `f1` as northbound transport preference
1. If the `MACRLCs` section lists `f1` as **northbound transport preference**
(`tr_n_preference`), it is a DU.
2. If the `gNBs` section lists `f1` as a southound transport preference

## Configuration of F1 IP/port information
## Local network deployment of F1
For a local deployment, you should update the following fields.
We assume that the CU will bind on `192.168.70.129` towards the core,
