  * 
==== Project description: ====
  * Provide high level description of intended project and OPNFV use case and benefit, if needed.
  * Include any architecture diagrams or specifications, reference to OPNFV requirements list.

==== Scope: ====

  * Describe the problem being solved by project
  * Specify any interface/API specification proposed, 
  * Specify testing and integration:
  * Debugging and Tracing 
  * Unit/Integration Test plans
  * Client tools developed for status shows etc. 
  * Identity a list of features and functionality will be developed.
  * Identify what is in or out of scope. So during the development phase, it helps reduce discussion.
