+KASUMI Crypto Poll Mode Driver
+===============================
+
+The KASUMI PMD (**librte_pmd_kasumi**) provides poll mode crypto driver
+support for utilizing Intel Libsso library, which implements F8 and F9 functions
+for KASUMI UEA1 cipher and UIA1 hash algorithms.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+KASUMI PMD has support for:
+
+Cipher algorithm:
+
+* RTE_CRYPTO_SYM_CIPHER_KASUMI_F8
+
+Authentication algorithm:
+
+* RTE_CRYPTO_SYM_AUTH_KASUMI_F9
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* Chained mbufs are not supported.
+* KASUMI(F9) supported only if hash offset field is byte-aligned.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+To build DPDK with the KASUMI_PMD the user is required to download
+the export controlled ``libsso_kasumi`` library, by requesting it from
+`<https://networkbuilders.intel.com/network-technologies/dpdk>`_.
+Once approval has been granted, the user needs to log in
+`<https://networkbuilders.intel.com/dpdklogin>`_
+and click on "Kasumi Bit Stream crypto library" link, to download the library.
+After downloading the library, the user needs to unpack and compile it
+on their system before building DPDK::
+
+ make kasumi
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
+
+* Export the environmental variable LIBSSO_KASUMI_PATH with the path where
+ the library was extracted (kasumi folder).
+
+* Build the LIBSSO library (explained in Installation section).
+
+* Set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_KASUMI=y in config/common_base.
+
+To use the PMD in an application, user must:
+
+* Call rte_eal_vdev_init("cryptodev_kasumi_pmd") within the application.
+
+* Use --vdev="cryptodev_kasumi_pmd" in the EAL options, which will call rte_eal_vdev_init() internally.
+
+The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
+
+* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated
+ (by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
+
+* max_nb_queue_pairs: Specify the maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
+
+* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./l2fwd-crypto -c 40 -n 4 --vdev="cryptodev_kasumi_pmd,socket_id=1,max_nb_sessions=128"

+bnxt poll mode driver library
+=============================
+
+The bnxt poll mode library (**librte_pmd_bnxt**) implements support for
+**Broadcom NetXtreme® C-Series**. These adapters support Standards-
+compliant 10/25/50Gbps 30MPPS full-duplex throughput.
+
+Information about this family of adapters can be found in the
+`NetXtreme® Brand section <https://www.broadcom.com/products/ethernet-communication-and-switching?technology%5B%5D=88>`_
+of the `Broadcom web site <http://www.broadcom.com/>`_.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+With the current driver, allocated mbufs must be large enough to hold
+the entire received frame. If the mbufs are not large enough, the
+packets will be dropped. This is most limiting when jumbo frames are
+used.
+
+SR-IOV is not supported.

+Floating VEB
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Intel® Ethernet Controller X710 and XL710 Family support a feature called
+"Floating VEB".
+
+A Virtual Ethernet Bridge (VEB) is an IEEE Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB) term
+for functionality that allows local switching between virtual endpoints within
+a physical endpoint and also with an external bridge/network.
+
+A "Floating" VEB doesn't have an uplink connection to the outside world so all
+switching is done internally and remains within the host. As such, this
+feature provides security benefits.
+
+In addition, a Floating VEB overcomes a limitation of normal VEBs where they
+cannot forward packets when the physical link is down. Floating VEBs don't need
+to connect to the NIC port so they can still forward traffic from VF to VF
+even when the physical link is down.
+
+Therefore, with this feature enabled VFs can be limited to communicating with
+each other but not an outside network, and they can do so even when there is
+no physical uplink on the associated NIC port.
+
+To enable this feature, the user should pass a ``devargs`` parameter to the
+EAL, for example::
+
+ -w 84:00.0,enable_floating_veb=1
+
+In this configuration the PMD will use the floating VEB feature for all the
+VFs created by this PF device.
+
+Alternatively, the user can specify which VFs need to connect to this floating
+VEB using the ``floating_veb_list`` argument::
+
+ -w 84:00.0,enable_floating_veb=1,floating_veb_list=1;3-4
+
+In this example ``VF1``, ``VF3`` and ``VF4`` connect to the floating VEB,
+while other VFs connect to the normal VEB.
+
+The current implementation only supports one floating VEB and one regular
+VEB. VFs can connect to a floating VEB or a regular VEB according to the
+configuration passed on the EAL command line.
+
+The floating VEB functionality requires a NIC firmware version of 5.0
+or greater.

+
+#. Bring up the PF ports:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ ifconfig ens5f0 up
+ ifconfig ens5f1 up
+
+#. Create VF device(s):
+
+ Echo the number of VFs to be created into ``"sriov_numvfs"`` sysfs entry
+ of the parent PF.
+
+ Example output:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ echo 2 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:81:00.0/sriov_numvfs
+
+
+#. Assign VF MAC address:
+
+ Assign MAC address to the VF using iproute2 utility. The syntax is::
+

+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+CRC striping
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ThunderX SoC family NICs strip the CRC for every packets coming into the
+host interface. So, CRC will be stripped even when the
+``rxmode.hw_strip_crc`` member is set to 0 in ``struct rte_eth_conf``.
+
+Maximum packet length
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ThunderX SoC family NICs support a maximum of a 9K jumbo frame. The value
+is fixed and cannot be changed. So, even when the ``rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len``
+member of ``struct rte_eth_conf`` is set to a value lower than 9200, frames
+up to 9200 bytes can still reach the host interface.
+
+Maximum packet segments
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ThunderX SoC family NICs support up to 12 segments per packet when working
+in scatter/gather mode. So, setting MTU will result with ``EINVAL`` when the
+frame size does not fit in the maximum number of segments.
+
+Limited VFs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ThunderX SoC family NICs has 128VFs and each VF has 8/8 queues
+for RX/TX respectively. Current driver implementation has one to one mapping
+between physical port and VF hence only limited VFs can be used.

+Mempool Handlers
+------------------------
+
+This allows external memory subsystems, such as external hardware memory
+management systems and software based memory allocators, to be used with DPDK.
+
+There are two aspects to a mempool handler.
+
+* Adding the code for your new mempool operations (ops). This is achieved by
+ adding a new mempool ops code, and using the ``REGISTER_MEMPOOL_OPS`` macro.
+
+* Using the new API to call ``rte_mempool_create_empty()`` and
+ ``rte_mempool_set_ops_byname()`` to create a new mempool and specifying which
+ ops to use.
+
+Several different mempool handlers may be used in the same application. A new
+mempool can be created by using the ``rte_mempool_create_empty()`` function,
+then using ``rte_mempool_set_ops_byname()`` to point the mempool to the
+relevant mempool handler callback (ops) structure.
+
+Legacy applications may continue to use the old ``rte_mempool_create()`` API
+call, which uses a ring based mempool handler by default. These applications
+will need to be modified to use a new mempool handler.
+
+For applications that use ``rte_pktmbuf_create()``, there is a config setting
+(``RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_MEMPOOL_OPS``) that allows the application to make use of
+an alternative mempool handler.

+
+The librte_pdump Library
+========================
+
+The ``librte_pdump`` library provides a framework for packet capturing in DPDK.
+The library does the complete copy of the Rx and Tx mbufs to a new mempool and
+hence it slows down the performance of the applications, so it is recommended
+to use this library for debugging purposes.
+
+The library provides the following APIs to initialize the packet capture framework, to enable
+or disable the packet capture, and to uninitialize it:
+
+* ``rte_pdump_init()``:
+ This API initializes the packet capture framework.
+
+* ``rte_pdump_enable()``:
+ This API enables the packet capture on a given port and queue.
+ Note: The filter option in the API is a place holder for future enhancements.
+
+* ``rte_pdump_enable_by_deviceid()``:
+ This API enables the packet capture on a given device id (``vdev name or pci address``) and queue.
+ Note: The filter option in the API is a place holder for future enhancements.
+
+* ``rte_pdump_disable()``:
+ This API disables the packet capture on a given port and queue.
+
+* ``rte_pdump_disable_by_deviceid()``:
+ This API disables the packet capture on a given device id (``vdev name or pci address``) and queue.
+
+* ``rte_pdump_uninit()``:
+ This API uninitializes the packet capture framework.
+
+* ``rte_pdump_set_socket_dir()``:
+ This API sets the server and client socket paths.
+ Note: This API is not thread-safe.
+
+
+Operation
+---------
+
+The ``librte_pdump`` library works on a client/server model. The server is responsible for enabling or
+disabling the packet capture and the clients are responsible for requesting the enabling or disabling of
+the packet capture.
+
+The packet capture framework, as part of its initialization, creates the pthread and the server socket in
+the pthread. The application that calls the framework initialization will have the server socket created,
+either under the path that the application has passed or under the default path i.e. either ``/var/run`` for
+root user or ``$HOME`` for non root user.
+
+Applications that request enabling or disabling of the packet capture will have the client socket created either under
+the path that the application has passed or under the default path i.e. either ``/var/run/`` for root user or ``$HOME``
+for not root user to send the requests to the server.
+The server socket will listen for client requests for enabling or disabling the packet capture.
+
+
+Implementation Details
+----------------------
+
+The library API ``rte_pdump_init()``, initializes the packet capture framework by creating the pthread and the server
+socket. The server socket in the pthread context will be listening to the client requests to enable or disable the
+packet capture.
+
+The library APIs ``rte_pdump_enable()`` and ``rte_pdump_enable_by_deviceid()`` enables the packet capture.
+On each call to these APIs, the library creates a separate client socket, creates the "pdump enable" request and sends
+the request to the server. The server that is listening on the socket will take the request and enable the packet capture
+by registering the Ethernet RX and TX callbacks for the given port or device_id and queue combinations.
+Then the server will mirror the packets to the new mempool and enqueue them to the rte_ring that clients have passed
+to these APIs. The server also sends the response back to the client about the status of the request that was processed.
+After the response is received from the server, the client socket is closed.
+
+The library APIs ``rte_pdump_disable()`` and ``rte_pdump_disable_by_deviceid()`` disables the packet capture.
+On each call to these APIs, the library creates a separate client socket, creates the "pdump disable" request and sends
+the request to the server. The server that is listening on the socket will take the request and disable the packet
+capture by removing the Ethernet RX and TX callbacks for the given port or device_id and queue combinations. The server
+also sends the response back to the client about the status of the request that was processed. After the response is
+received from the server, the client socket is closed.
+
+The library API ``rte_pdump_uninit()``, uninitializes the packet capture framework by closing the pthread and the
+server socket.
+
+The library API ``rte_pdump_set_socket_dir()``, sets the given path as either server socket path
+or client socket path based on the ``type`` argument of the API.
+If the given path is ``NULL``, default path will be selected, i.e. either ``/var/run/`` for root user or ``$HOME``
+for non root user. Clients also need to call this API to set their server socket path if the server socket
+path is different from default path.
+
+
+Use Case: Packet Capturing
+--------------------------
+
+The DPDK ``app/pdump`` tool is developed based on this library to capture packets in DPDK.
+Users can use this as an example to develop their own packet capturing tools.

Vhost Library
=============
-The vhost library implements a user space vhost driver. It supports both vhost-cuse
-(cuse: user space character device) and vhost-user(user space socket server).
-It also creates, manages and destroys vhost devices for corresponding virtio
-devices in the guest. Vhost supported vSwitch could register callbacks to this
-library, which will be called when a vhost device is activated or deactivated
-by guest virtual machine.
+The vhost library implements a user space virtio net server allowing the user
+to manipulate the virtio ring directly. In another words, it allows the user
+to fetch/put packets from/to the VM virtio net device. To achieve this, a
+vhost library should be able to:
+
+* Access the guest memory:
+
+ For QEMU, this is done by using the ``-object memory-backend-file,share=on,...``
+ option. Which means QEMU will create a file to serve as the guest RAM.
+ The ``share=on`` option allows another process to map that file, which
+ means it can access the guest RAM.
+
+* Know all the necessary information about the vring:
+
+ Information such as where the available ring is stored. Vhost defines some
+ messages to tell the backend all the information it needs to know how to
+ manipulate the vring.
+
+Currently, there are two ways to pass these messages and as a result there are
+two Vhost implementations in DPDK: *vhost-cuse* (where the character devices
+are in user space) and *vhost-user*.
+
+Vhost-cuse creates a user space character device and hook to a function ioctl,
+so that all ioctl commands that are sent from the frontend (QEMU) will be
+captured and handled.
+
+Vhost-user creates a Unix domain socket file through which messages are
+passed.
+
+.. Note::
+
+ Since DPDK v2.2, the majority of the development effort has gone into
+ enhancing vhost-user, such as multiple queue, live migration, and
+ reconnect. Thus, it is strongly advised to use vhost-user instead of
+ vhost-cuse.
+
Vhost API Overview
------------------
-* Vhost driver registration
+The following is an overview of the Vhost API functions:
+
+* ``rte_vhost_driver_register(path, flags)``
+
+ This function registers a vhost driver into the system. For vhost-cuse, a
+ ``/dev/path`` character device file will be created. For vhost-user server
+ mode, a Unix domain socket file ``path`` will be created.
+
+ Currently two flags are supported (these are valid for vhost-user only):
+
+ - ``RTE_VHOST_USER_CLIENT``
+
+ DPDK vhost-user will act as the client when this flag is given. See below
+ for an explanation.
+
+ - ``RTE_VHOST_USER_NO_RECONNECT``
+
+ When DPDK vhost-user acts as the client it will keep trying to reconnect
+ to the server (QEMU) until it succeeds. This is useful in two cases:
+
+ * When QEMU is not started yet.
+ * When QEMU restarts (for example due to a guest OS reboot).
+
+ This reconnect option is enabled by default. However, it can be turned off
+ by setting this flag.
- rte_vhost_driver_register registers the vhost driver into the system.
- For vhost-cuse, character device file will be created under the /dev directory.
- Character device name is specified as the parameter.
- For vhost-user, a Unix domain socket server will be created with the parameter as
- the local socket path.
+* ``rte_vhost_driver_session_start()``
-* Vhost session start
+ This function starts the vhost session loop to handle vhost messages. It
+ starts an infinite loop, therefore it should be called in a dedicated
+ thread.
- rte_vhost_driver_session_start starts the vhost session loop.
- Vhost session is an infinite blocking loop.
- Put the session in a dedicate DPDK thread.
+* ``rte_vhost_driver_callback_register(virtio_net_device_ops)``
-* Callback register
+ This function registers a set of callbacks, to let DPDK applications take
+ the appropriate action when some events happen. The following events are
+ currently supported:
- Vhost supported vSwitch could call rte_vhost_driver_callback_register to
- register two callbacks, new_destory and destroy_device.
- When virtio device is activated or deactivated by guest virtual machine,
- the callback will be called, then vSwitch could put the device onto data
- core or remove the device from data core by setting or unsetting
- VIRTIO_DEV_RUNNING on the device flags.
+ * ``new_device(int vid)``
-* Read/write packets from/to guest virtual machine
+ This callback is invoked when a virtio net device becomes ready. ``vid``
+ is the virtio net device ID.
- rte_vhost_enqueue_burst transmit host packets to guest.
- rte_vhost_dequeue_burst receives packets from guest.
+ * ``destroy_device(int vid)``
-* Feature enable/disable
+ This callback is invoked when a virtio net device shuts down (or when the
+ vhost connection is broken).
- Now one negotiate-able feature in vhost is merge-able.
- vSwitch could enable/disable this feature for performance consideration.
+ * ``vring_state_changed(int vid, uint16_t queue_id, int enable)``
-Vhost Implementation
---------------------
+ This callback is invoked when a specific queue's state is changed, for
+ example to enabled or disabled.
-Vhost cuse implementation
+* ``rte_vhost_enqueue_burst(vid, queue_id, pkts, count)``
+
+ Transmits (enqueues) ``count`` packets from host to guest.
+
+* ``rte_vhost_dequeue_burst(vid, queue_id, mbuf_pool, pkts, count)``
+
+ Receives (dequeues) ``count`` packets from guest, and stored them at ``pkts``.
+
+* ``rte_vhost_feature_disable/rte_vhost_feature_enable(feature_mask)``
+
+ This function disables/enables some features. For example, it can be used to
+ disable mergeable buffers and TSO features, which both are enabled by
+ default.
+
+
+Vhost Implementations
+---------------------
+
+Vhost-cuse implementation

-Vhost user implementation
+Vhost-user implementation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-When vSwitch registers a vhost driver, it will create a Unix domain socket server
-into the system. This server will listen for a connection and process the vhost message from
-QEMU simulator.
-When there is a new socket connection, it means a new virtio device has been created in
-the guest virtual machine, and the vhost driver will create a vhost device for this virtio device.
+Vhost-user uses Unix domain sockets for passing messages. This means the DPDK
+vhost-user implementation has two options:
+
+* DPDK vhost-user acts as the server.
+
+ DPDK will create a Unix domain socket server file and listen for
+ connections from the frontend.
+
+ Note, this is the default mode, and the only mode before DPDK v16.07.
+
+
+* DPDK vhost-user acts as the client.
+
+ Unlike the server mode, this mode doesn't create the socket file;
+ it just tries to connect to the server (which responses to create the
+ file instead).
+
+ When the DPDK vhost-user application restarts, DPDK vhost-user will try to
+ connect to the server again. This is how the "reconnect" feature works.
+
+ Note: the "reconnect" feature requires **QEMU v2.7** (or above).
+
+No matter which mode is used, once a connection is established, DPDK
+vhost-user will start receiving and processing vhost messages from QEMU.
+
+For messages with a file descriptor, the file descriptor can be used directly
+in the vhost process as it is already installed by the Unix domain socket.
-For messages with a file descriptor, the file descriptor could be directly used in the vhost
-process as it is already installed by Unix domain socket.
+The supported vhost messages are:
- * VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE
- * VHOST_SET_VRING_KICK
- * VHOST_SET_VRING_CALL
- * VHOST_SET_LOG_FD
- * VHOST_SET_VRING_ERR
+* ``VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE``
+* ``VHOST_SET_VRING_KICK``
+* ``VHOST_SET_VRING_CALL``
+* ``VHOST_SET_LOG_FD``
+* ``VHOST_SET_VRING_ERR``
-For VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE message, QEMU will send us information for each memory region and its
-file descriptor in the ancillary data of the message. The fd is used to map that region.
+For ``VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE`` message, QEMU will send information for each

+The file descriptor is used to map that region.
-There is no VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND message as in vhost cuse to signal us whether virtio device
-is ready or should be stopped.
-VHOST_SET_VRING_KICK is used as the signal to put the vhost device onto data plane.
-VHOST_GET_VRING_BASE is used as the signal to remove vhost device from data plane.

- support PCAP file reading feature. The release 16.04 contains this ABI
- change wrapped by RTE_NEXT_ABI macro. Release 16.07 will contain this
- change, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
+* The APIs rte_mempool_count and rte_mempool_free_count are being deprecated
+ on the basis that they are confusing to use - free_count actually returns
+ the number of allocated entries, not the number of free entries as expected.
+ They are being replaced by rte_mempool_avail_count and
+ rte_mempool_in_use_count respectively.
-* A librte_vhost public structures refactor is planned for DPDK 16.07
- that requires both ABI and API change.
- The proposed refactor would expose DPDK vhost dev to applications as
- a handle, like the way kernel exposes an fd to user for locating a
- specific file, and to keep all major structures internally, so that
- we are likely to be free from ABI violations in future.
+* The mempool functions for single/multi producer/consumer are deprecated and
+ will be removed in 16.11.
+ It is replaced by rte_mempool_generic_get/put functions.

+
+New Features
+------------
+
+.. This section should contain new features added in this release. Sample format:
+
+ * **Add a title in the past tense with a full stop.**
+
+ Add a short 1-2 sentence description in the past tense. The description
+ should be enough to allow someone scanning the release notes to understand
+ the new feature.
+
+ If the feature adds a lot of sub-features you can use a bullet list like this.
+
+ * Added feature foo to do something.
+ * Enhanced feature bar to do something else.
+
+ Refer to the previous release notes for examples.
+
+* **Removed mempool cache if not needed.**
+
+ The size of the mempool structure is reduced if the per-lcore cache is disabled.
+
+* **Added mempool external cache for non-EAL thread.**
+
+ Added new functions to create, free or flush a user-owned mempool
+ cache for non-EAL threads. Previously, cache was always disabled
+ on these threads.
+
+* **Changed the memory allocation in mempool library.**
+
+ * Added ability to allocate a large mempool in virtually fragmented memory.
+ * Added new APIs to populate a mempool with memory.
+ * Added an API to free a mempool.
+ * Modified the API of rte_mempool_obj_iter() function.
+ * Dropped specific Xen Dom0 code.
+ * Dropped specific anonymous mempool code in testpmd.
+
+* **Added new driver for Broadcom NetXtreme-C devices.**
+
+ Added the new bnxt driver for Broadcom NetXtreme-C devices. See the
+ "Network Interface Controller Drivers" document for more details on this
+ new driver.
+
+* **Added new driver for ThunderX nicvf device.**
+
+* **Added mailbox interrupt support for ixgbe and igb VFs.**
+
+ When the physical NIC link comes down or up, the PF driver will send a
+ mailbox message to notify each VF. To handle this link up/down event,
+ add mailbox interrupts support to receive the message and allow the app to
+ register a callback for it.
+
+* **Updated the ixgbe base driver.**
+
+ The ixgbe base driver was updated with changes including the
+ following:
+
+ * Added sgmii link for X550.
+ * Added mac link setup for X550a SFP and SFP+.
+ * Added KR support for X550em_a.
+ * Added new phy definitions for M88E1500.
+ * Added support for the VLVF to be bypassed when adding/removing a VFTA entry.
+ * Added X550a flow control auto negotiation support.
+
+* **Updated the i40e base driver.**
+
+ Updated the i40e base driver, which includes support for new devices IDs.
+
+* **Supported virtio on IBM POWER8.**
+
+ The ioports are mapped in memory when using Linux UIO.
+
+* **Virtio support for containers.**
+
+ Add a new virtual device, named virtio-user, to support virtio for containers.
+
+ Known limitations:
+
+ * Control queue and multi-queue are not supported yet.
+ * Cannot work with --huge-unlink.
+ * Cannot work with --no-huge.
+ * Cannot work when there are more than VHOST_MEMORY_MAX_NREGIONS(8) hugepages.
+ * Root privilege is a must for sorting hugepages by physical address.
+ * Can only be used with vhost user backend.
+
+* **Added vhost-user client mode.**
+
+ DPDK vhost-user could be the server as well as the client. It supports
+ server mode only before, now it also supports client mode. Client mode
+ is enabled when ``RTE_VHOST_USER_CLIENT`` flag is set while calling
+ ``rte_vhost_driver_register``.
+
+ When DPDK vhost-user restarts from normal or abnormal quit (say crash),
+ the client mode would allow DPDK to establish the connect again. Note
+ that a brand new QEMU version (v2.7 or above) is needed, otherwise, the
+ reconnect won't work.
+
+ DPDK vhost-user will also try to reconnect by default when
+
+ * the first connect fails (when QEMU is not started yet)
+ * the connection is broken (when QEMU restarts)
+
+ It can be turned off if flag ``RTE_VHOST_USER_NO_RECONNECT`` is set.
+
+* **Added NSH packet recognition in i40e.**
+
+* **Added AES-CTR support to AESNI MB PMD.**
+
+ Now AESNI MB PMD supports 128/192/256-bit counter mode AES encryption and
+ decryption.
+
+* **Added support of AES counter mode for Intel QuickAssist devices.**
+
+ Enabled support for the AES CTR algorithm for Intel QuickAssist devices.
+ Provided support for algorithm-chaining operations.
+
+* **Added KASUMI SW PMD.**
+
+ A new Crypto PMD has been added, which provides KASUMI F8 (UEA1) ciphering
+ and KASUMI F9 (UIA1) hashing.
+
+* **Added multi-writer support for RTE Hash with Intel TSX.**
+
+ The following features/modifications have been added to rte_hash library:
+
+ * Enabled application developers to use an extra flag for rte_hash creation
+ to specify default behavior (multi-thread safe/unsafe) with rte_hash_add_key
+ function.
+ * Changed Cuckoo search algorithm to breadth first search for multi-writer
+ routine and split Cuckoo Search and Move operations in order to reduce
+ transactional code region and improve TSX performance.
+ * Added a hash multi-writer test case for test app.
+
+* **Improved IP Pipeline Application.**
+
+ The following features have been added to ip_pipeline application:
+
+ * Configure the MAC address in the routing pipeline and automatic routes
+ updates with change in link state.
+ * Enable RSS per network interface through the configuration file.
+ * Streamline the CLI code.
+
+* **Added keepalive enhancements.**
+
+ Adds support for reporting of core states other than dead to
+ monitoring applications, enabling the support of broader liveness
+ reporting to external processes.
+
+* **Added packet capture framework.**
+
+ * A new library ``librte_pdump`` is added to provide packet capture API.
+ * A new ``app/pdump`` tool is added to capture packets in DPDK.
+
+
+* **Added floating VEB support for i40e PF driver.**
+
+ A "floating VEB" is a special Virtual Ethernet Bridge (VEB) which does not
+ have an upload port, but instead is used for switching traffic between
+ virtual functions (VFs) on a port.
+
+ For information on this feature, please see the "I40E Poll Mode Driver"
+ section of the "Network Interface Controller Drivers" document.
+
+
+Resolved Issues
+---------------
+
+.. This section should contain bug fixes added to the relevant sections. Sample format:
+
+ * **code/section Fixed issue in the past tense with a full stop.**
+
+ Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the resolved issue in the past tense.
+ The title should contain the code/lib section like a commit message.
+ Add the entries in alphabetic order in the relevant sections below.
+
+
+EAL
+~~~
+
+
+Drivers
+~~~~~~~
+
+* **i40e: Fixed vlan stripping from inner header.**
+
+ Previously, for tunnel packets, such as VXLAN/NVGRE, the vlan
+ tags of the inner header will be stripped without putting vlan
+ info to descriptor.
+ Now this issue is fixed by disabling vlan stripping from inner header.
+
+* **i40e: Fixed the type issue of a single VLAN type.**
+
+ Currently, if a single VLAN header is added in a packet, it's treated
+ as inner VLAN. But generally, a single VLAN header is treated as the
+ outer VLAN header.
+ This issue is fixed by changing corresponding register for single VLAN.
+
+
+Libraries
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+* **mbuf: Fixed refcnt update when detaching.**
+
+ Fix the ``rte_pktmbuf_detach()`` function to decrement the direct
+ mbuf's reference counter. The previous behavior was not to affect
+ the reference counter. It lead a memory leak of the direct mbuf.
+
+
+Examples
+~~~~~~~~
+
+
+Other
+~~~~~
+
+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+.. This section should contain new known issues in this release. Sample format:
+
+ * **Add title in present tense with full stop.**
+
+ Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the known issue in the present
+ tense. Add information on any known workarounds.
+
+
+API Changes
+-----------
+
+.. This section should contain API changes. Sample format:
+
+ * Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the API change. Use fixed width
+ quotes for ``rte_function_names`` or ``rte_struct_names``. Use the past tense.
+
+* The following counters are removed from ``rte_eth_stats`` structure:
+ ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,
+ tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff.
+
+* The extended statistics are fetched by ids with ``rte_eth_xstats_get``
+ after a lookup by name ``rte_eth_xstats_get_names``.
+
+* The function ``rte_eth_dev_info_get`` fill the new fields ``nb_rx_queues``
+ and ``nb_tx_queues`` in the structure ``rte_eth_dev_info``.
+
+* The vhost function ``rte_vring_available_entries`` is renamed to
+ ``rte_vhost_avail_entries``.
+
+* All existing vhost APIs and callbacks with ``virtio_net`` struct pointer
+ as the parameter have been changed due to the ABI refactoring mentioned
+ below: it's replaced by ``int vid``.
+
+* The function ``rte_vhost_enqueue_burst`` no longer supports concurrent enqueuing
+ packets to the same queue.
+
+* The function ``rte_eth_dev_set_mtu`` adds a new return value ``-EBUSY``, which
+ indicates the operation is forbidden because the port is running.
+
+
+ABI Changes
+-----------
+
+.. * Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the ABI change that was announced in
+ the previous releases and made in this release. Use fixed width quotes for
+ ``rte_function_names`` or ``rte_struct_names``. Use the past tense.
+
+* The ``rte_port_source_params`` structure has new fields to support PCAP file.
+ It was already in release 16.04 with ``RTE_NEXT_ABI`` flag.
+
+* The ``rte_eth_dev_info`` structure has new fields ``nb_rx_queues`` and ``nb_tx_queues``
+ to support number of queues configured by software.
+
+* vhost ABI refactoring has been made: ``virtio_net`` structure is never
+ exported to application any more. Instead, a handle, ``vid``, has been
+ used to represent this structure internally.
+
+
+Shared Library Versions

+dpdk_pdump Application
+======================
+
+The ``dpdk_pdump`` application is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) application that runs as a DPDK secondary process and
+is capable of enabling packet capture on dpdk ports.
+
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application has a ``--pdump`` command line option with various sub arguments:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./build/app/dpdk_pdump --
+ --pdump '(port=<port id> | device_id=<pci id or vdev name>),
+ (queue=<queue_id>),
+ (rx-dev=<iface or pcap file> |
+ tx-dev=<iface or pcap file>),
+ [ring-size=<ring size>],
+ [mbuf-size=<mbuf data size>],
+ [total-num-mbufs=<number of mbufs>]'
+
+Note:
+
+* Parameters inside the parentheses represents mandatory parameters.
+
+* Parameters inside the square brackets represents optional parameters.
+
+Multiple instances of ``--pdump`` can be passed to capture packets on different port and queue combinations.
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``port``:
+Port id of the eth device on which packets should be captured.
+
+``device_id``:
+PCI address (or) name of the eth device on which packets should be captured.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ * As of now the ``dpdk_pdump`` tool cannot capture the packets of virtual devices
+ in the primary process due to a bug in the ethdev library. Due to this bug, in a multi process context,
+ when the primary and secondary have different ports set, then the secondary process
+ (here the ``dpdk_pdump`` tool) overwrites the ``rte_eth_devices[]`` entries of the primary process.
+
+``queue``:
+Queue id of the eth device on which packets should be captured. The user can pass a queue value of ``*`` to enable
+packet capture on all queues of the eth device.
+
+``rx-dev``:
+Can be either a pcap file name or any Linux iface.
+
+``tx-dev``:
+Can be either a pcap file name or any Linux iface.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ * To receive ingress packets only, ``rx-dev`` should be passed.
+
+ * To receive egress packets only, ``tx-dev`` should be passed.
+
+ * To receive ingress and egress packets separately ``rx-dev`` and ``tx-dev``
+ should both be passed with the different file names or the Linux iface names.
+
+ * To receive ingress and egress packets separately ``rx-dev`` and ``tx-dev``
+ should both be passed with the same file names or the the Linux iface names.
+
+``ring-size``:
+Size of the ring. This value is used internally for ring creation. The ring will be used to enqueue the packets from
+the primary application to the secondary. This is an optional parameter with default size 16384.
+
+``mbuf-size``:
+Size of the mbuf data. This is used internally for mempool creation. Ideally this value must be same as
+the primary application's mempool's mbuf data size which is used for packet RX. This is an optional parameter with
+default size 2176.
+
+``total-num-mbufs``:
+Total number mbufs in mempool. This is used internally for mempool creation. This is an optional parameter with default
+value 65535.
+
+
+Example
+-------

+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo ./build/app/dpdk_pdump -- --pdump 'port=0,queue=*,rx-dev=/tmp/rx.pcap'

+Running virtio-user with vhost-switch
+-------------------------------------
+
+We can also use virtio-user with vhost-switch now.
+Virtio-user is a virtual device that can be run in a application (container) parallelly with vhost in the same OS,
+aka, there is no need to start a VM. We just run it with a different --file-prefix to avoid startup failure.
