 Kilo can be installed on any Kubernetes cluster either pre- or post-bring-up.
 
-### Step 1: install WireGuard
+### Step 1: get WireGuard
 
 Kilo requires the WireGuard kernel module to be loaded on all nodes in the cluster.
 Starting at Linux 5.6, the kernel includes WireGuard in-tree; Linux distributions with older kernels will need to install WireGuard.
 For most Linux distributions, this can be done using the system package manager.
 [See the WireGuard website for up-to-date instructions for installing WireGuard](https://www.wireguard.com/install/).
 
+Clusters with nodes on which the WireGuard kernel module cannot be installed can use Kilo by leveraging a [userspace WireGuard implementation](./docs/userspace-wireguard.md).

 ### Step 2: open WireGuard port
 
 The nodes in the mesh will require an open UDP port in order to communicate.

 # Userspace WireGuard
 
 It is possible to use a userspace implementation of WireGuard with Kilo.

+This can make sense in cases where
 
-* not all nodes in the cluster have WireGuard installed
-* no one wants to install the DKMS WireGuard package on these nodes
+* not all nodes in a cluster have WireGuard installed; or

-With a homogeneous cluster (no node has the WireGuard kernel module), you can run a userspace WireGuard implementation as a DaemonSet.
-This will create a WireGuard interface and Kilo will configure it.

+In a heterogeneous cluster where some nodes are missing the WireGuard kernel module, a userspace WireGuard implementation can be provided only to the nodes that need it while enabling the other nodes to leverage WireGuard via the kernel module.

-This config will apply [nkml](https://github.com/leonnicolas/nkml) as a DaemonSet to label all nodes according to the presence of the WireGuard kernel module.
-It will apply two different DaemonSets with Kilo: `kilo` without userspace WireGuard and `kilo-userspace` with boringtun as a sidecar.
-Because Kilo is dependant on nkml, it needs to run on the host network and needs a kubeconfig to be able to update the labels.
