VOLTHA Documentation ==================== `VOLTHA (Virtual OLT Hardware Abstraction `_ is an open source project to create a hardware abstraction for broadband access equipment. It supports the principle of multi-vendor, disaggregated, "any broadband access as a service" for the Telco Central Office. Key concepts in VOLTHA: - **Network as a Switch**: It makes a set of connected access network devices to look like a SDN programmable switch. - **Evolution to virtualization**: it can work with a variety of access network technologies and devices - **Unified OAM abstraction**: it provides unified, vendor- and technology agnostic handling of device management tasks, such as service lifecycle, device lifecycle (including discovery, upgrade), system monitoring, alarms, troubleshooting, security, etc. - **Cloud/DevOps bridge to modernization**: it does all above while using a microservices architecture running on top of Docker and/or Kubernetes. VOLTHA is a sub-project of the `Open Networking Foundation's `_ `CORD project `_. .. figure:: ./_static/voltha_diagram.svg :alt: VOLTHA Component Diagram :width: 70% :align: center VOLTHA Component Diagram Here some quick links to get you started: - :doc:`./overview/architecture_overview` - :doc:`./overview/deployment_environment` - :doc:`./overview/troubleshooting` Community --------- Information about participating in the VOLTHA community and development process can be found on the `VOLTHA section of the CORD Wiki `_. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :caption: Overview :hidden: :glob: overview/architecture_overview.rst overview/deployment_environment.rst Deploy VOLTHA overview/workflows.rst overview/operate.rst overview/troubleshooting.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: :caption: Components BBSIM OpenFlow Agent OpenOlt Adapter OpenOnu Adapter Go Openolt Agent VOLTHA CLI VOLTHA Protos .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: :caption: Operations ONU software update ONU Performance Metrics .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: :caption: Testing VOLTHA system tests testing/index.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: :caption: Logging logging/centralised_log_analysis.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: :caption: Device Management Interface Overview Image management Events and Metrics Managing a device Examples Guidelines Implementation on BBSIM .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: :caption: Releases :glob: release_notes/*
