SampleVNF_ is an OPNFV Project.
-The project's goal is to provides a placeholder for various sample VNF
+The project's goal was to provide 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/ Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure
-(:term:`NFVI`) characterization for the same.
+for high performance VNFs.
+Today, we only maintain PROX and rapid scripts as part of this project
+to perform Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure
+(:term:`NFVI`) characterization.
-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 VNF/NFVI verification.
+*SampleVNF* is used in OPNFV for characterization of NFVI on OPNFV infrastructure.
-*SampleVNF* is used in OPNFV for characterization of NFVI/VNF on OPNFV infrastructure
-and some of the OPNFV features.
