+Overview
+--------
+
+OpenContrail (www.opencontrail.org) is a fully featured Software Defined
+Networking (SDN) solution for private clouds. It supports high performance
+isolated tenant networks without requiring external hardware support. It
+provides a Neutron plugin to integrate with OpenStack.
+
+This charm is designed to be used in conjunction with the rest of the OpenStack
+related charms in the charm store to virtualize the network that Nova Compute
+instances plug into.
+
+This subordinate charm provides the vRouter component which
+contains the contrail-vrouter-agent service. It can be related to any charm
+to provide vRouter functionality on the node. For OpenStack it should be
+nova-compute application to provide vRouter functionality for OpenStack.
+
+Only OpenStack Mitaka or newer is supported.
+Only for Contrail 4.0 for now.
+Juju 2.0 is required.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Contrail Controller are prerequisite service to deploy.
+
+Once ready, deploy and relate as follows:
+
+ juju deploy contrail-agent
+ juju add-relation contrail-agent:juju-info nova-compute:juju-info
+ juju add-relation contrail-agent contrail-controller
+
+Install Sources
+---------------
+
+The version of packages installed when deploying must be configured using the
+'install-sources' option. This is a multilined value that may refer to PPAs or
+Deb repositories.
+
+Control Node Relation
+---------------------
+
+This charm is typically related to contrail-controller.
+This instructs the Contrail vRouter agent to use the API endpoints for
+locating needed information.
