guidelines should be discussed there.

+c. Comparison between VNF Guidelines and ETSI GS NFV-SWA 001
+--------------------------------------------------------------
The VNF guidelines presented in this document (VNF Guidelines) overlap
with the ETSI GS NFV-SWA 001 (Network Functions Virtualization (NFV);
indexed on the SWA 001 sections.
Section 4 Overview of VNF in the NFV Architecture
--------------------------------------------------
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section provides an overview of the ETSI NFVI architecture and how
it interfaces with the VNF architecture. Because of the differences
main body of this document.
Section 5 VNF Design Patterns and Properties
---------------------------------------------
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section of the SWA 001 document gives a broad view of all the
possible design patterns of VNFs. The VNF Guidelines do not generally
scope than what is allowed in the SWA 001 document.
Section 5.1 VNF Design Patterns
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following are differences between the VNF Guidelines and SWA-001:
ONAP.
Section 5.2 VNF Update and Upgrade
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- 5.2.2 - ONAP will orchestrate updates and upgrades. The
preferred method for updates and upgrades is to build a new instance
and kill the old instance.
Section 5.3 VNF Properties
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following are differences between the VNF Guidelines and SWA-001:
VNFCs but it encourages the minimization of stateful VNFCs.
Section 5.4 Attributes describing VNF Requirements
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Attributes described in the VNF Guidelines and reference documents
include those attributes defined in this section of the SWA 001 document
