+What is the Vector Packet Processor (VPP)
+#########################################
-FD.io Vector Packet Processing (VPP) is a fast, scalable layer 2-4
-multi-platform network stack. VPP supports integration with OpenStack
-and Kubernetes. Network management features include configuration,
-counters and sampling. Development tools include plugin extensibility,
-high-performance event-logging, multiple kinds of packet tracing;
-debug images include extensive consistency checking.
+FD.io's Vector Packet Processor (VPP) is a fast, scalable layer 2-4
+multi-platform network stack. It runs in `Linux Userspace <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_space>`_
+on multiple architectures including x86, ARM, and Power architectures.
-Use-cases include vSwitch, vRouter, Gateways, Firewalls and Load
-Balancers, to name several. Out of the box, VPP works as a software
-development kit or an appliance.
+VPP's high performance network stack is quickly becoming the network stack of
+choice for applications around the world.
+
+VPP is continually being enhanced through the extensive use of plugins. The
+`Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Plane_Development_Kit>`_
+is a great example of this. It provides some important features and drivers
+for VPP.
+
+VPP supports integration with OpenStack and Kubernetes. Network
+management features include configuration, counters, sampling and
+more. For developers, VPP includes high-performance event-logging,
+and multiple kinds of packet tracing. Development debug images
+include complete symbol tables, and extensive consistency checking.
+
+Some VPP Use-cases include vSwitches, vRouters, Gateways, Firewalls
+and Load Balancers, to name a few.
