+Doctor Platform

+
+Features
+========
+
+Doctor platform, as of Brahmaputra release, provides the two features:
+
+* Immediate Notification
+* Consistent resource state awareness (Compute)
+
+These features enable high availability of Network Services on top of
+the virtualized infrastructure. Immediate notification allows VNF managers
+(VNFM) to process recovery actions promptly once a failure has occurred.
+Consistency of resource state is necessary to properly execute recovery
+actions properly in the VIM.
+
