+Impact of SpectreAndMeltdown Patches
+====================================

+Following sections list changes to VPP throughput performance after
+applying patches addressing security vulnerabilities referred to as:
+Meltdown (Variant3: Rogue Data Cache Load) and Spectre (Variant1: Bounds
+Check Bypass; Variant2: Branch Target Injection) security
+vulnerabilities. Incremental kernel patches for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as
+documented on
 `Ubuntu SpectreAndMeltdown page <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SpectreAndMeltdown>`_.
 For Spectre additional Processor microcode and BIOS firmware changes are
-applied. For detailed listing of used software versions and patches
