+OpenDaylight Experimental Features
+==================================
+
+.. contents::
+   :depth: 1
+   :local:
+
+Messaging4Transport
+-------------------
+Adds AMQP bindings to the MD-SAL, which makes all MD-SAL APIs available via
+that mechanism. AMQP bindings integration exposes the MD-SAL datatree, rpcs,
+and notifications via AMQP, when installed.
+
+Network Intent Composition (NIC)
+--------------------------------
+Offers an interface with an abstraction layer for you to communicate
+“intentions,” i.e., what you expect from the network.  The Intent model, which
+is part of NIC's core architecture, describes your networking services
+requirements and transforms the details of the desired state to OpenDaylight.
+NIC has four features:
+
+* odl-nic-core-hazelcast: Provides the following:
+
+  * A distributed intent mapping service implemented using hazelcast, which
+    stores metadata needed to process Intent correctly
+  * An intent REST API to external applications for Create, Read, Update, and
+    Delete (CRUD) operations on intents, conflict resolution, and event handling
+
+* odl-nic-core-mdsal: Provides the following:
+
+  * A distributed Intent mapping service implemented using MD-SAL, which stores
+    metadata needed to process Intent correctly
+  * An Intent rest API to external applications for CRUD operations on Intents,
+    conflict resolution, and event handling
+
+* odl-nic-console: Provides a Karaf CLI extension for Intent CRUD operations
+  and mapping service operations
+* Four renderers to provide specific implementations to render the Intent:
+
+  * Virtual Tenant Network Renderer
+  * Group Based Policy Renderer
+  * OpenFlow Renderer
+  * Network MOdeling Renderer
+
+UNI Manager Plug-in (Unimgr)
+----------------------------
+Formed to initiate the development of data models and APIs that facilitate
+OpenDaylight software applications’ and/or service orchestrators’ ability to
+configure and provision connectivity services.
+
+YANG-PUBSUB
+-----------
+An experimental feature Plugin that allows subscriptions to be placed on
+targeted subtrees of YANG datastores residing on remote devices. Changes in
+YANG objects within the remote subtree can be pushed to OpenDaylight as
+specified and don’t require OpenDaylight to make continuous fetch requests.
+YANG-PUBSUB is developed as a Java project. Development requires Maven version
+3.1.1 or later.
