 ## Repository Description
 
 [Cisco Modeling Labs](http://developer.cisco.com/modeling-labs) (CML) is a network simulation platform from Cisco that allows for the creation of robust network topologies made up of nearly anything you can imagine. It supports virtual machine based devices using QCOW or KVM format, and can be tied into physical components by "bridging" the simulation to the real world.  
@@ -14,34 +14,39 @@ CML is officially supported on bare-metal x86\_64 servers and in VMware ESXi and
 Unofficially, CML can be installed onto [HyperV](documentation/cml_on_hyperv.md), [Proxmox](documentation/cml_on_proxmox.md),
 and [Nutanix AHV](documentation/cml_on_nutanix.md).

 ### Node and Image Definition Files
-Included with CML is a library of ["reference platforms"](https://developer.cisco.com/docs/modeling-labs/#!reference-platforms-and-images) for a variety of Cisco network devices as well as images for Linux servers, traffic generators, unmanaged devices, etc.  However, CML allows a "bring your own image" model for any KVM supported image.  While we **cannot** share the actual QCOW image files for nodes that require proper licensing and rights from individual platform owners, we can post the CML YAML file definitions that have been created to support different platforms from Cisco as well as third party vendors. 
 
-The folder structure of this repository reflect the folder structure and naming conventions used on the CML server itself for storing the definitions.

 * [virl-base-images](virl-base-images) - Folder containing a folder for each added platform disk image. Within each platform folder you will find a YAML file that references a specific `disk_image` file for a platform. A base image definition will reference a node definition.

-### Sample Lab Topologies 
 CML includes a series of Sample Labs that are available from the Tools menu in Lab Manager, however these are just a start of the possible network simulations that can be created.  Within this repository users of CML can find, or share, network topologies that have been created to highlight a specific type of simulation challenge.
 
-> Note: Sample Lab Topologies from this repository may leverage nodes that are **NOT** included with the standard reference platform for CML. Be sure to look at the requirements for any given lab topology.

 ## DevNet Sandbox
+
 A great way to make your repo easy for others to use is to provide a link to a [DevNet Sandbox](https://developer.cisco.com/site/sandbox/) that provides a network or other resources required to use this code. In addition to identifying an appropriate sandbox, be sure to provide instructions and any configuration necessary to run your code with the sandbox.
 
-If you are new to Cisco Modeling Labs, you can explore and test drive CML within [DevNet Sandbox](https://developer.cisco.com/site/sandbox/). Just search for "Cisco Modeling" from the Sandbox Catalog.
