+# Sonic - Switch State Service - SwSS
 
 # Description
 The Switch State Service (SwSS) is a collection of software that provides a database interface for communication with and state representation of network applications and network switch hardware.
 
+# Getting Started
+
+## Install from Debian Repo
+
+For your convenience, you can install prepared packages on Debian Jessie:
+
+    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver apt-mo.trafficmanager.net --recv-keys 417A0893
+    echo 'deb http://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/sonic/ trusty main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sonic.list
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get install sonic-swss
+
+## Install from Source
+
+You can compile and install from source using:
+
+    git clone https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss.git
+    #TODO: ./getdeps.sh
+    make && sudo make install
+
+You can also build a debian package using:
+
+    fakeroot debian/rules binary

+###PORT_TABLE
+Stores information for physical switch ports managed by the switch chip.  device_names are defined in [port_config.ini](https://github.com/stcheng/swss/blob/mock/portsyncd/port_config.ini).  Ports to the CPU (ie: management port) and logical ports (loopback) are not declared in the PORT_TABLE.   See INTF_TABLE.

+###LAG_TABLE
+    ;a logical, link aggregation group interface (802.3ad) made of one or more ports

+    duplex              = ; set by LAG application, must match PORT_TABLE.duplex
+
+For example, in a libteam implemenation, teamsyncd listens to Linux `RTM_NEWLINK` and `RTM_DELLINK` messages and creates or delete entries at the `LAG_TABLE:<team0>`

+    4) "down"
+    5) "mtu"
+    6) "1500"
+
+In addition for each team device, the teamsyncd listens to team events
+and reflects the LAG ports into the redis under: `LAG_TABLE:<team0>:port`
+
+    127.0.0.1:6379> HGETALL "LAG_TABLE:team0:veth0"
+    1) "linkup"
+    2) "down"

+    4) "0Mbit"
+    5) "duplex"
+    6) "half"
+

+    blackhole     = BIT ; Set to 1 if this route is a blackhole (or null0)
+
+
+###NEIGH_TABLE
+    ; Stores the neighbors or next hop IP address and output port or 
+    ; interface for routes
+    ; Note: neighbor_sync process will resolve mac addr for neighbors 
+    ; using libnl to get neighbor table

+    neigh         = 12HEXDIG         ;  mac address of the neighbor 
+    family        = "IPv4" / "IPv6"  ; address family
+
+
+###Configuration files
+What configuration files should we have?  Do apps, orch agent each need separate files?  
+
+[port_config.ini](https://github.com/stcheng/swss/blob/mock/portsyncd/port_config.ini) - defines physical port information  
+
+portsyncd reads from port_config.ini and updates PORT_TABLE in APP_DB
+
+All other apps (intfsyncd) read from PORT_TABLE in APP_DB
+
