 OAP(Observability Analysis Platform) is a new concept, which starts in SkyWalking 6.x. OAP replaces the 
 old SkyWalking collectors. The capabilities of the platform are following.
 
+## OAP capabilities
+<img src="https://skywalkingtest.github.io/page-resources/6_overview.png"/>
+In SkyWalking 6 series, OAP accepts data from more sources, which belongs two groups: **Tracing** and **Metric**.
+
+- **Tracing**. Including, SkyWalking native data formats. Zipkin v1,v2 data formats and Jaeger data formats.
+- **Metric**. SkyWalking integrates with Service Mesh platforms, such as Istio, Envoy, Linkerd, to provide observability from data panel 
+or control panel. Also, SkyWalking native agents can run in metric mode, which highly improve the 
+performance.
+
+At the same time by using any integration solution provided, such as SkyWalking log plugin or toolkits, 
+SkyWalking provides visualization integration for binding tracing and logging together by using the 
+trace id and span id.
+
+As usual, all services provided by gRPC and HTTP protocol to make integration easier for unsupported ecosystem.
+
+## Tracing in OAP
+Tracing in OAP has two ways to process.
+1. Traditional way in SkyWalking 5 series. Format tracing data in SkyWalking trace segment and span formats, 
+even for Zipkin data format. The AOP analysis the segments to get metrics, and push the metric data into
+the streaming aggregation.
+1. Consider tracing as some kinds of logging only. Just provide save and visualization capabilities for trace. 
+
+## Metric in OAP
+Metric in OAP is totally new feature in 6 series. Build observability for a distributed system based on metric of connected nodes.
+No tracing data is required.
 
 ## Observability Analysis Language
 Provide OAL(Observability Analysis Language) to analysis incoming data in streaming mode.
