+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>`_.
 
-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 benefits include high performance, proven technology, modularity,
+and a rich feature set.
