= Honeycomb Honeycomb is an VPP agent that runs the same host as a VPP instance and exposes YANG models via NETCONF and RESTCONF to allow management of that VPP instance. Honeycomb uses jAPI to communicate with the VPP.

In the future we plan to minimize ODL dependencies or completely remove karaf. Transaction functionality is provided by the data layer. == Data layer Models CONFIG data store as a DataTree. OPERATIONAL data store reads are passed directly to the translation layer. Provides transaction functionality for NETCONF/RESTCONF layer. == Translation layer Extensible API for translation between Binding Aware data and actual device data. Consists of readers and writers responsible for communication with the device. Provides registry of readers and writers for the data layer. == Supported features List of supported requests for RESTCONF northbound interface can be found in postman_rest_collection.json within the codebase. It is a POSTMAN compatible collection and can be imported into POSTMAN application.
