Bringing Up CORD

CORD is a general-purpose platform that is able to run one or more profiles, each of which includes some access technology (e.g., OLT, RAN) and some collection of services (called a service graph or service mesh).

Although in principle arbitrarily many different profiles are possible, and profiles can be dynamically extended with new services at runtime, each release of CORD includes a collection of reference profiles. This section describes two.
