+dpdk-test-crypto-perf Application
+=================================
+
+The ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` tool is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)
+utility that allows measuring performance parameters of PMDs available in the
+crypto tree. There are available two measurement types: throughput and latency.
+User can use multiply cores to run tests on but only
+one type of crypto PMD can be measured during single application
+execution. Cipher parameters, type of device, type of operation and
+chain mode have to be specified in the command line as application
+parameters. These parameters are checked using device capabilities
+structure.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+On hardware devices the cycle-count doesn't always represent the actual offload
+cost. The cycle-count only represents the offload cost when the hardware
+accelerator is not fully loaded, when loaded the cpu cycles freed up by the
+offload are still consumed by the test tool and included in the cycle-count.
+These cycles are consumed by retries and inefficient API calls enqueuing and
+dequeuing smaller bursts than specified by the cmdline parameter. This results
+in a larger cycle-count measurement and should not be interpreted as an offload
+cost measurement.
+
+On hardware devices the throughput measurement is not necessarily the maximum
+possible for the device, e.g. it may be necessary to use multiple cores to keep
+the hardware accelerator fully loaded and so measure maximum throughput.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+**Step 1: PMD setting**
+
+The ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` tool depends on crypto device drivers PMD which
+are disabled by default in the build configuration file ``common_base``.
+The crypto device drivers PMD which should be tested can be enabled by setting::
+
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_<name>=y
+
+Setting example for open ssl PMD::
+
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OPENSSL=y
+
+**Step 2: Linearization setting**
+
+It is possible linearized input segmented packets just before crypto operation
+for devices which doesn't support scatter-gather, and allows to measure
+performance also for this use case.
+
+To set on the linearization options add below definition to the
+``cperf_ops.h`` file::
+
+ #define CPERF_LINEARIZATION_ENABLE
+
+**Step 3: Build the application**
+
+Execute the ``dpdk-setup.sh`` script to build the DPDK library together with the
+``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` applcation.
+
+Initially, the user must select a DPDK target to choose the correct target type
+and compiler options to use when building the libraries.
+The user must have all libraries, modules, updates and compilers installed
+in the system prior to this,
+as described in the earlier chapters in this Getting Started Guide.
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The tool application has a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ dpdk-test-crypto-perf [EAL Options] -- [Application Options]

+Each line beginig with sign '#' contain comment and it is ignored by parser::
+
+ # <comment>
+
+Header line is just name in square bracket::
+
+ [<section name>]
+
+Data line contain information tocken then sign '=' and
+a string of bytes in C byte array format::
