+	 DPDK is a set of libraries and drivers for fast packet processing. It
+	 was designed to run on any processors, however, Intel x86 has been the
+	 first CPU to be supported. Ports for other CPUs like IBM Power 8 and
+	 ARM are under progress. It runs mostly in Linux userland. A FreeBSD
+	 port is now available for a subset of DPDK features.
+
+	 Notes:
+	 * To build the included Linux Kernel drivers, it is necessary to
+	   enable CONFIG_PCI_MSI, CONFIG_UIO.
+	 * To build the PCAP PMD properly, you need to enable the libpcap
+	   manually.
+	 * You may need to install the python2 interpreter if you want to use
+	   scripts dpdk_nic_bind.py and cpu_layout.py
