+Performance Optimization Guidelines
+===================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The following sections describe optimizations used in the DPDK and optimizations that should be considered for a new applications.
+
+They also highlight the performance-impacting coding techniques that should,
+and should not be, used when developing an application using the DPDK.
+
+And finally, they give an introduction to application profiling using a Performance Analyzer from Intel to optimize the software.
