+What is the Vector Packet Processor (VPP)
+#########################################
-FD.io Vector Packet Processing (VPP) is a fast, scalable and multi-platform network stack.
+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.
+VPP is built using the `Dataplane Development Kit (DPDK) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Plane_Development_Kit>`_.
-FD.io VPP is, at it's core, a scalable layer 2-4 network stack.
-It supports integration into both Open Stack and Kubernetes environments.
-It supports network management features including configuration, counters and sampling.
-It supports extending with plugins, tracing and debugging.
-It supports use cases such as vSwitch, vRouter, Gateways, Firewalls and Load Balancers, to name but a few.
-Finally it is useful both a software development kit or an appliance out of the box.
+VPP benefits include high performance, proven technology, modularity,
+and a rich feature set.
+
+VPP supports integration with OpenStack and Kubernetes. Network
+management features include configuration, counters, sampling and
+more. For developers, VPP includes plugin extensibility,
+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. Out of the box, VPP can work as a
+software development kit or an appliance.
