+REST API - Readme
+========================================================
+
+Introduction
+===============
+As the internet industry progresses creating REST API becomes more concrete
+with emerging best Practices. RESTful web services don’t follow a prescribed
+standard except fpr the protocol that is used which is HTTP, its important
+to build RESTful API in accordance with industry best practices to ease
+development & increase client adoption.
+
+In REST Architecture everything is a resource. RESTful web services are light
+weight, highly scalable and maintainable and are very commonly used to
+create APIs for web-based applications.
+
+Here are important points to be considered:
+
+ * GET operations are read only and are safe.
+ * PUT and DELETE operations are idempotent means their result will
+ always same no matter how many times these operations are invoked.
+ * PUT and POST operation are nearly same with the difference lying
+ only in the result where PUT operation is idempotent and POST
+ operation can cause different result.
+
+
+REST API in SampleVNF
+=====================
+
+In SampleVNF project VNF’s are run under different contexts like BareMetal,
+SRIOV, OVS & Openstack etc. It becomes difficult to interact with the
+VNF’s using the command line interface provided by the VNF’s currently.
+
+Hence there is a need to provide a web interface to the VNF’s running in
+different environments through the REST api’s. REST can be used to modify
+or view resources on the server without performing any server-side
+operations.
+
+REST api on VNF’s will help adapting with the new automation techniques
+being adapted in yardstick.
+
+Web server integration with VNF’s
+==================================
+
+In order to implement REST api’s in VNF one of the first task is to
+identify a simple web server that needs to be integrated with VNF’s.
+For this purpose “civetweb” is identified as the web server That will
+be integrated with the VNF application.
+
+CivetWeb is an easy to use, powerful, C/C++ embeddable web server with
+optional CGI, SSL and Lua support. CivetWeb can be used by developers
+as a library, to add web server functionality to an existing application.
+
+Civetweb is a project forked out of Mongoose. CivetWeb uses an [MITlicense].
+It can also be used by end users as a stand-alone web server. It is available
+as single executable, no installation is required.
+
+In our project we will be integrating civetweb into each of our VNF’s.
+Civetweb exposes a few functions which are used to resgister custom handlers
+for different URI’s that are implemented.
+Typical usage is shown below
+
+
+VNF Application init()
+=========================
+
+Initialize the civetweb library
+================================
+
+mg_init_library(0);
+
+Start the web server
+=====================
+ctx = mg_start(NULL, 0, options);
+
+
+Once the civetweb server is started we can register our URI’s as show below
+mg_set_request_handler(ctx, "/config", static_cfg_handler, 0);
+
+In the above example “/config” is the URI & static_cfg_handler() is
+the handler that gets called when a user invokes this URI through
+the HTTP client. API's have been mostly implemented for existing VNF's
+like vCGNAPT, vFW & vACL. you might want to implement custom handlers
+for your VNF.
+
+URI definition for different VNF’s

+}
+
+
+2. Run time Usage
+====================
+
+An application(say vFW) with REST API support is run as follows
+with just PORT MASK as input. The following environment variables
+need to be set before launching the application(To be run from
+samplevnf directory).
+
+export VNF_CORE=`pwd`
+export RTE_SDK=`pwd`/dpdk-16.04
+export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+./build/vFW -p 0x3 (Without the -f & -s option)
+
+1. When VNF(vCGNAPT/vACL/vFW) is launched it waits for user to provide the
+/vnf/config REST method. A typical curl command if used will look like below
+shown. This with minimal parameter. For more options please refer to above REST
+methods table.
+
+e.g curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"pci_white_list": "0000:08:00.0
+ 0000:08:00.1"}' http://<IP>/vnf/config
+
+Note: the config is mostly implemented based on existing VNF's. if new parameters
+are required in the config we need to add that as part of the vnf_template.
+
+Once the config is provided the application gets launched.
+
+Note for CGNAPT we can add public_ip_port_range as follows, the following e.g gives
+a multiport configuration with 4 ports, 2 load balancers, worker threads 10, multiple
+public_ip_port_range being added, please note the "/" being used to seperate multiple
+inputs for public_ip_port_range.
+
+e.g curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"pci_white_list": "0000:05:00.0 0000:05:00.2 0000:07:00.0 0000:07:00.2",
+ "num_lb":"2", "num_worker":"10","public_ip_port_range_0": "04040000:(1, 65535)/04040001:(1, 65535)",
+ "public_ip_port_range_1": "05050000:(1, 65535)/05050001:(1, 65535)" }' http://10.223.197.179/vnf/config
+
+2. Check the Link IP's using the REST API
+e.g curl <IP>/vnf/config/link
+
+This would indicate the number of links enabled. You should enable all the links
+by using following curl command for links 0 & 1
+
+e.g curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"linkid": "0", "state": "1"}'
+http://<IP>/vnf/config/link
+curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"linkid": "1", "state": "1"}'
+http://<IP>/vnf/config/link
+
+3. Now that links are enabled we can configure IP's using link method as follows
+
+e.g curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"ipv4":"<IP to be configured>","depth":"24"}'
+http://<IP>/vnf/config/link/0
+curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"ipv4":"IP to be configured","depth":"24"}'
+http://<IP>/vnf/config/link/1
+
+Once the IP's are set in place time to add NHIP for ARP Table. This is done using for all the ports
+required.
+/vnf/config/route
+
+curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"portid":"0", "nhipv4":"IPV4 address",
+ "depth":"8", "type":"net"}' http://<IP>/vnf/config/route
+
+
+4. For Firewall/ACL in order to load the rules a script file needs to be posted
+using a script.
+/vnf/config/rules/load
+
+Typical example for loading a script file is shown below
+curl -X PUT -F 'image=@<path to file>' http://<IP>/vnf/config/rules/load
+
+vCGNAPT can use the following REST api's for runtime configuring through a script
+/vnf/config/rules/clear
+/vnf/config/nat(vCGNAPT only)
+/vnf/config/nat/load
+
+For debug purpose following REST API's could be used as described above.
+
+/vnf/dbg
+/vnf/dbg/pipelines
+/vnf/dbg/pipelines/<pipe id>
+/vnf/dbg/cmd
+
+5. For stats we can use the following method
+
+/vnf/stats
+e.g curl <IP>/vnf/stats
+
+6. For quittiong the application
+/vnf/quit
+
+e.g curl <IP>/vnf/quit
+

+SampleVNF - Config files
+========================
+
+The configuration files are created based on the DUT test scenarios.
+The example reference files are provided as part of the VNFs in the
+config folder.
+
+Following parameters will define the config files.
+
+1. Loadbalancing: Hardware or Software
+2. Traffic type: IPv4 or IPv6
+3. Number of Ports: pairs: Single port or Multi-Port
+
+Following are the example configuration files for sampleVNFs.
