+
+SampleVNF_ is an OPNFV Project.
+
+The project's goal is to provides a placeholder for various sample VNF
+(Virtual Network Function (:term:`VNF`)) development which includes example
+reference architecture and optimization methods related to VNF/Network service
+for high performance VNFs. This project provides benefits to other OPNFV
+projects like Functest, Models, yardstick etc to perform real life
+use-case based testing and VNF/NFVi characterization for the same.
+
+The Project's scope to create a repository of sample VNFs to help VNF
+benchmarking and NFVi characterization with real world traffic and host a
+common development environment for developing the VNF using optimized libraries.
+Also, Develop a test framework in yardstick  to enable
+Virtual Network Function (:term:`VNF`) / Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure
+(:term:`NFVI`) verification.
+
+*SampleVNF* is used in OPNFV for characterization of NFVi/VNF on OPNFV infrastructure
+and some of the OPNFV features.
+
+.. seealso:: Pharos_ for information on OPNFV community labs and this
+   Technical_Briefs_ for an overview of *SampleVNF*
