CORD-837 - update diagram to include quagga Change-Id: I84c2670d3141656912aa726e4be03ca96c59e6c4
This repository is an entry point to CORD's open reference implementation. It helps you to build and deploy CORD.
CORD (Central Office Re-architected as a Datacenter) is a revolutionary concept to turn Telco Central Offices (and MSO Head Ends) into a modern mini-datacenters. We call this a CORD POD. A POD is made up of commodity servers, switches, and other networking devices. The POD is an application deployment platform optimized for both conventional cloud-scale applications as well as virtual network functions (VNF).
The CORD open reference implementation is comprised of:
A number of POD hardware specifications that can serve as reference implementations
A software platform that when deployed on the servers implements service-agnostic software infrastructure enabling deployment of sophisticated network services
A few sample service implementations that can be readily deployed onto CORD PODs
A deployment automation framework that simplifies the installation of the platform layers as well as the sample services
An extendable test framework and test suite to verify and characterize the platfrom as well as the sample services
Extensive documentation to work with CORD
If this is your first encounter with CORD, you may consider giving it a quick spin. We made it real easy. You can bring up CORD on a single server or on a few servers (with or without a real fabric) with a few commands.
Please follow our Quick Start Tutorial.
