+Abstract
+========
+
+This document comprises the release notes for the SDN VPN feature contained in the Brahmaputra
+release of OPNFV.
+
+Important notes
+===============
+
+In the Brahmaputra release, SDN VPN only supports ODL as a backend. Make sure to always deploy
+SDN VPN and ODL together. Make use of deployment scenarios including the SDNVPN feature.
+
+Summary
+=======
+
+SDN VPN adds the possibility to create and associate BGP/MPLS based Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
+through the OpenStack Neutron BGPVPN API extension.

+
+Version change
+--------------
+
+Compared to the Brahmaputra base release, a new version of ODL including several critical
+bugfixes is deployed.
+
+Module version changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ODL has been upgraded to Beryllium SR1. On top of Beryllium SR1, a number of bugfix patches
+are applied which will be contained in Beryllium SR2. The deployment procedure has been
+enhanced to take care of previously required manual post-deployment configuration.
+
+Document changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A slight readability improvement to the user guide has been made.
+
+Reason for version
+------------------
+
+Feature additions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+SDN VPN adds the possibility to create and associate BGP/MPLS based Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
+through the OpenStack Neutron BGPVPN API extension.
+
+No new features are added in Brahmaputra.3.0
+
+Bug corrections
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Several bugs in ODL VPN Service have been fixed in this release.
+
+Deliverables
+------------
+
+Software deliverables
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Fuel plugin for OpenStack BGPVPN
+- Changes to ODL Fuel plugin to activate VPN Service Karaf feature
+- Integration of VPN Service functional tests and BGPVPN API tests into Functest framework
+
+Documentation deliverables
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Paragraph on SDN VPN feature for platform overview
+
+- Configuration guide
+
+- User guide
+
+- Release noes (this document)
+
+Known Limitations, Issues and Workarounds
+=========================================
+
+System Limitations
+------------------
+
+The currently deployed system does not contain a BGP stack and hence is limited to
+providing connectivity within the domain controlled by one ODL instance (e.g.
+intra-DC communication). Addition of an open source BGP stack is planned for the
+Colorado release.
+
+Feature specific Yardstick test cases have not been implemented, we plan to add
+these in Colorado
+
+Known issues
+------------
+
+The ODL VPN Service does not implement Floating IP, which is used extensively by Yardstick
+to run generic system tests, which do currently not pass for this reason.
+
+Workarounds
+-----------
+
+Manual configuration of VPN Service internal transport between multiple compute nodes is needed
+to enable inter-node connectivity.
+
+Test results
+============
+
+The deployment scenarios have successfully deployed in OPNFV CI many times and all Functest tests
+(general and feature specific) are passing.
