 Honeycomb is a generic NETCONF/RESTCONF management agent and provides a framework
 for building specialized agents.
 
+It uses many features and utilities from different http://www.opendaylight.org/[Opendaylight (ODL)] projects
+(e.g. yangtools, controller, mdsal and netconf).
+
 The biggest use case of honeycomb is VPP (fd.io's Vector packet processor).
 Honeycomb delivers a management agent to enable integration of VPP with e.g. SDN controllers such as Opendaylight.
