  OAI open-source software/hardware development model.OAI is the most feature rich open-source project for 3GPP cellular networks, being able to implement both NSA and SA deployments. DU is a split mode which integrated in OAI gNB component according to 3GPP.The DU provides support for the lower layers of the protocol stack such as RLC, MAC, and the physical layer.

  - [x] What are the parts of OAI DU?

   The DU has High-PHY(FAPI), MAC, RLC & RRC (for handing RRC Config messages from CU) protocols along with F1 interface support. Key Performance Metrics (E2SM_KPM) - RAN Slicing (E2SM_RSM) This component is intended for use with OAI based DU hardware or SDRAN-in-a-Box (RiaB).
    
- [x] Which interfaces does OAI DU relates to?

 OAI adopts a split option F1 interface between the CU and DU.
 OAI DU relates to F1 interface, which includes F1-C - control plane and F1-U - user plane.

- [X] Explain your figure which shows comparisons the architecture of OAI gNB (CU/DU mode) versus O-RAN gNB.
