-odl-ovsdb-southbound-api
-------------------------
-
-* **Feature URL:** https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=ovsdb.git;a=blob;f=southbound/southbound-features/odl-ovsdb-southbound-api/pom.xml;h=7baad461a78e7dd311516ec03b7dbf7c9a0679aa;hb=refs/heads/stable/nitrogen
-* **Feature Description:** This feature provides the YANG models for northbound users to configure the OVSDB device.
- These YANG models are designed based on the `OVSDB schema <http://openvswitch.org/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5.pdf>`_. This
- feature does not provide the implementation of YANG models. If user/developer prefer to write their own implementation
- they can use this feature to load the YANG models in the controller.
-* **Top Level:** Yes
-* **User Facing:** Yes
-* **Experimental:** No

-* **Feature URL:** https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=ovsdb.git;a=blob;f=southbound/southbound-features/odl-ovsdb-southbound-impl/pom.xml;h=261a85eacef24c1985a11f60d018816b1f880b10;hb=refs/heads/stable/nitrogen
-* **Feature Description:** This feature is the main feature of the OVSDB Southbound plugin. This plugin handle the OVS
- device that supports the `OVSDB schema <http://openvswitch.org/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5.pdf>`_ and uses the
- `OVSDB protocol <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7047>`_. This feature provides the implementation of the defined YANG
- models. Developers developing the in-controller application and want to leverage OVSDB for device configuration can
- add dependency on this feature and it will load all the required modules.

-* **Feature Description:** This feature is the wrapper feature that installs the odl-ovsdb-southbound-api &
- odl-ovsdb-southbound-impl feature with other required features for restconf access to provide a functional OVSDB
- southbound plugin. Users, who want to develop application that manages the OVSDB supported devices but want to runs
- the application outside of the OpenDaylight controller must install this feature.

-* **Feature Description:** This feature provides the YANG models for northbound users to configure the device
- that supports OVSDB Hardware vTEP schema. These YANG models are designed based on the

- implementation of YANG models. If user/developer prefer to write their own implementation of the defined YANG
- model, they can use this feature to install the YANG models in the controller.
-* **Top Level:** Yes
-* **User Facing:** Yes
-* **Experimental:** Yes
-* **CSIT Test:** Minimal set of CSIT test is already in place. More work is in progress and will have better functional

+The OVSDB Project provides the following functionality:
-Documentation
-=============
+* The OVSDB southbound plugin handles any OVS device that supports both the
+ OVSDB schema and uses the OVSDB protocol. This feature implements a defined
+ YANG model. Developers can use this functionality to develop in-controller
+ applications that leverage OVSDB for device configuration.

- Plugin's connection to device is by default unsecured. User need to explicitly enable the TLS support through ovsdb
- library configuration file. User can refer to the wiki page
- `here <https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/OVSDB_Integration:TLS_Communication>`_ for the instructions.
