+Network Instantiation
+=====================
+
+Note: in ONAP SDC, network object is called "virtual link"
+
+**Various possible methods are available with ONAP to instantiate a network**
+
+- With **A La Carte**
+  method, the user needs to build and send a Network instantiation
+  request.
+
+    Note 1: prior to be able to send a request to instantiate
+    a Network, the user needs to instantiate a Service Object and then will
+    need to refer to that Service instance in the Network instantiate request.
+
+    Note 2: the request to instantiate the Network object will update
+    ONAP AAI (inventory) and will send a request to the selected Cloud Platform
+    (Openstack, Azure, K8S...).
+
+- With **Macro**
+  method, the user do not need to send any
+  Network instantiation request. Network instantiation is being automatically
+  performed by ONAP when sending the request to instantiate the Service
+  (see: Instantiate Service).
+
+**Possible Tools to perform Network Instantiation**
+
+the user needs such a tool only if using the "A La Carte" method.
+
+- **via ONAP VID Graphical User Interface tool**
+
+- **via any tool able to perform REST API requests**
+  (for example : Robot Framework, Postman, Curl...) connected
+  to **ONAP SO** legacy API.
+
+With "A La Carte" method
+------------------------
+
+.. toctree::
+   :maxdepth: 1
+
+   using ONAP VID Portal <../vid/index.rst>
+   using ONAP SO REST API <../so1/index.rst>
+
+With "Macro" method
+------------------------
+
+Network instantiation is performed automatically when performing
+Service Instantiation.
