+* OpenFlow-Based Applications Project provides the following applications that user can
+  leverage out-of-the-box in developing their application or as a direct end consumer:
+
+  * Forwarding Rules Manager: Application provides functionality to add/remove/update
+    flow/groups/meters.
+  * LLDP Speaker: Application sends periodic LLDP packet out on each OpenFlow switch
+    port for link discovery.
+  * Topology LLDP Discovery: Application intercept the LLDP packets and discover the
+    link information.
+  * Topology Manager: Application receives the discovered links information from
+    Topology LLDP Discovery application and stores in the topology yang model datastore.
+  * Reconciliation Framework: Framework that exposes the APIs that consumer application
+    (in-controller) can leverage to participate in the switch reconciliation process in
+    the event of switch connection/reconnection.
+  * Arbitrator Reconciliation: Application exposes the APIs that consumer application
+    or direct user can leverage to trigger the device configuration reconciliation.
+  * OpenFlow Java Library Project provides the OpenFlow Java Library that converts
+    the data based on OpenFlow plugin data models to the OpenFlow java models before
+    sending it down the wire to the device.
