+It is possible to configure multiple GTP devices in `osmo-upf.cfg`. Depending on
+the Network Instance name, osmo-upf creates tunnel endpoints on the GTP device
+with a matching IP address:
+
+- The Network Instance IE in the PDR on the Access side determines the local IP
+ address to use, see <<netinst>>.
+- This local IP address in turn determines the GTP device to use.
+
+It is possible for a GTP device to listen on ANY -- just omit the IP address in
+the `dev` config. In this case, all Network Instance names will be served by
+this GTP device. When using ANY, there should be exactly one GTP dev configured.
