 ==== Tutorial: Per stream statistics 
 
-* Per stream statistic is implemented using hardware assist on the X710/XL710 Intel NIC using flow director rules
-* With I350/82599 it is implemented in software.
+* Per stream statistics is implemented using hardware assist when possible (X710/XL710 Intel NICs flow director rules for example).
+* With other NICs (Intel I350, 82599) it is implemented in software.
+* Implementation works as follows:
+1. User chooses 32 bit packet group id (pg_id).
+1. IPv4 Identification field of the stream is changed to a value with in a reserved range (0xff00 to 0xffff). Notice that if a stream for which
+no statistics is needed has IPv4 Identification in the reserved range, it is changed (left bit becomes 0).
+1. In the software implementation, hardware rules are used to direct packets from relevant streams to rx thread, where they are counted. 
+In the hardware implementation, HW rules are inserted to count packets from relevant streams.
+1. Summed up statistics (per stream, per port) are sent using ZMQ async channel to clients.
 
- [TODO IDO]
+* Limitations:
 
-1. Works only for IPv4  (with or without VLAN)
-2. IPv4 Identification field is changed to a reserve values. 
-3. All users acquire interfaces is configured with a rule to count this stream id (base on IPV4.id)
-4. Client sum the counter per stream (it is sent on ZMQ async channel)
-5. Number of RX stats are 128
+1. Currently, the feature supports only two packet types:
+a. IPv4 over ethernet
+b. IPv4 with one vlan tag
+2. Number of concurrent streams you can get statistics for is 128.
