Blueprint overview/Introduction

Network Cloud Unicycle with OVS-DPDK support is an Akraino approved blueprint and is added as a new species to existing Akraino's Network Cloud Blueprint Family. This blueprint integrates Akraino feature project Support for OVS-DPDK in Airship which primarily focuses on up-streaming OVS-DPDK functionality in to the Airship project. This blueprint will address multiple edge usecase supporting both virtual machines and container based workloads.

Use Case

The primary usecase of Network Cloud Unicycle with OVS-DPDK blueprint is to support vRAN and 5G Core which requires high performance through-put with low latency.The blueprint will be evolved further to support multiple edge usecases.
