Zack Williams16042b62020-03-29 22:03:16 -07004`VOLTHA (Virtual OLT Hardware Abstraction
5<https://www.opennetworking.org/voltha/>`_ is an open source project to create a
6hardware abstraction for broadband access equipment. It supports the principle
7of multi-vendor, disaggregated, "any broadband access as a service" for the
8Telco Central Office.

Zack Williams16042b62020-03-29 22:03:16 -070010Key concepts in VOLTHA:
11
12- **Network as a Switch**: It makes a set of connected access network devices
13 to look like a SDN programmable switch.
14
15- **Evolution to virtualization**: it can work with a variety of access network
16 technologies and devices
17
18- **Unified OAM abstraction**: it provides unified, vendor- and technology
19 agnostic handling of device management tasks, such as service lifecycle,
20 device lifecycle (including discovery, upgrade), system monitoring, alarms,
21 troubleshooting, security, etc.
22
23- **Cloud/DevOps bridge to modernization**: it does all above while using a
24 microservices architecture running on top of Docker and/or Kubernetes.
25
26VOLTHA is a sub-project of the `Open Networking Foundation's
27<https://www.opennetworking.org>`_ `CORD project
28<https://www.opennetworking.org/cord/>`_.
