+Introduction
+============
+.. In this section explain the purpose of the scenario and the types of capabilities provided
+
+Many Telecom network functions are relying on layer-3 infrastructure services, within a VNF
+between components, or towards existing external networks. In many cases, these external
+networks are implemented in MPLS/BGP technology in existing service provider wide-area-networks (WAN).
+This proven technology provides a good mechanism for inter-operation of a NFV Infrastructure (NFVI)
+and wide-area networks (WAN) and is the main capability provided by the OPNFV SDNVPN project.
+
+.. should we explain here what a deployment scenario is?
+The OPNFV SDNVPN feature is made available through additional OPNFV deployment scenarios, which are derived
+from the baseline scenarios os-odl_l2-nofeature and os-odl_l3-nofeature. This document
+provides an outline of the os-odl_l2-bgpvpn scenarios including guidelines and references to
+required installation, software and hardware configuration documents.
+
+Scenario components and composition
+===================================
+.. In this section describe the unique components that make up the scenario,
+.. what each component provides and why it has been included in order
+.. to communicate to the user the capabilities available in this scenario.
+
+The SDN VPN feature enhances OPNFV's baseline OpenStack deployment with the
+possibility to configure BGP based VPNs using the Neutron API extension and service plugin
+provided by the OpenStack Neutron
+Stadium project BGPVPN. The BGPVPN project consists of a Neutron API extension and a
+service plugin which has a driver framework similar to the ML2 plugin. BGPVPN today
+has a quite large number of backend drivers (Bagpipe, OpenContrail,
+Nuage and OpenDaylight currently). In OPNFV, currently only the OpenDaylight driver
+is supported.
+
+The BGPVPN ODL driver maps the BGPVPN API onto the OpenDaylight NetVirt service, which exposes the data
+center overlay like a virtual router to which Neutron Networks and Routers (and in the future also Ports)
+are connected. NetVirt has access to the state of the Neutron API through the OpenDaylight
+Neutron Northbound Interface module, which has been enhanced to support the BGPVPN API extension.
+It uses an internal mesh of VxLAN tunnels to interconnect the vSwitches on the data
+center compute nodes. For the purpose of BGP based route exchange with other BGP speakers the ODL
+controller makes use of Quagga BGP as an external BGP speaker.
+
+
+Scenario usage overview
+=======================
+.. Provide a brief overview on how to use the scenario and the features available to the
+.. user. This should be an "introduction" to the user guide document, and explicitly link to it,
+.. where the specifics of the features are covered including examples and API's
+
+ When would I use this scenario, what value does it provide? Refer to the user guide for details
+ of configuration etc...
+
+Configuring SDNVPN features
+---------------------------
+
+Each installer has specific procedures to deploy the OPNFV platform so that the SDNVPN feature is enabled.
+
+Fuel installer configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To install the SDNVPN feature using Fuel, follow the Fuel installation guide ensuring to select the SDNVPN
+feature when prompted <add link to Fuel docs once artifact locations are known>.
+
+This will trigger installation of the OpenStack BGPVPN API extension for
+Neutron, set up for using the ODL driver, in addition to vanilla Neutron.
+In addition, the required karaf features will be activated when ODL is installed and the compute nodes
+will be configured including the VPN Service internal transport tunnel mesh.
+
+No post-deploy configuration is necessary. The Fuel BGPVPN plugin and the ODL plugin
+should set up the cluster ready for BGPVPNs being created.
+
+APEX installer configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To install the SDNVPN feature using the APEX installer, follow the APEX installation guide and
+activate the SDNVPN feature when prompted.
+
+Limitations, Issues and Workarounds
+===================================
+.. Explain scenario limitations here, this should be at a design level rather than discussing
+.. faults or bugs. If the system design only provide some expected functionality then provide
+.. some insight at this point.
+
+Currently, in OPNFV only ODL is supported as a backend for BGPVPN. API calls are
+mapped onto the ODL NetVirt REST API through the BGPVPN ODL driver and the
+ODL Neutron Northbound module.
+
+No DPDK-enabled vhost user ports are supported.
+
+Integration with data center gateway will not work due to missing OVS patches for MPLSoGRE.
