@@ -20,4 +20,74 @@ The footprint varies depending on:
 * VM load. Under heavier load, JVM tends to release some unused memory used during Honeycomb initialization.
 * Northbound interface configuration (4 interfaces started by default: Restconf HTTP, HTTPS, Netconf TCP, SSH). Minimal footprint can be achieved by using only a single interface.
 * JVM configuration. Minimal footprint can be achieved by using aggressive JVM memory options, e.g.: -client -Xms20m -Xmx32m -XX:MetaspaceSize=5m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=32m -XX:MaxMetaspaceExpansion=1m -Xss512k -XX:+UseSerialGC -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xverify:none -noverify

+
+=== Runtime Data
+
+For purpose of following minimal setup, these parameters were used
+
+ java -client -Xms5m -Xmx25m -XX:MetaspaceSize=5m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=42m -XX:MaxMetaspaceExpansion=1m -Xss512k -XX:+UseSerialGC -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xverify:none -noverify -jar
+
+NOTE: In this setup, honeycomb is able to handle only transaction of limited size. If
+usecase requires writing bigger data, params -Xmx and -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize should be increased.
+
+==== Infrastructure
+
+Following modules enables basic honeycomb functionality and
+Restconf northbound interface

+
+===== Configuration files
+
+To enable just Restconf HTTP, in /config/restconf.json, set *restconf-https-enabled* to false
+
+==== Plugins
+
+Following modules enables honeycomb binding to all core vpp plugins

+==== Data
+
+In this minimal setup, honeycomb was able to handle
+
+* max 2940 single rule acl's - using 120 bytes per acl
+* max 250 multi rule acl's(20 rules per acls) - using 2688 bytes per acl
+* max 7610 classify tables - using 24 bytes per acl
+* 10000+ map resolvers - using 24 bytes per map resolver
+* 500+ interfaces(Before it reaches vpp limit for configurable interfaces) - using 42 bytes per interface
+
+NOTE: Memory consumption mentioned is size of raw objects that represents desired
+configuration. It does not include objects used by transaction handling to process
+such data.
+
+At rest, honeycomb instance footprint was observed as ~ 95.3 MB. With any of the mentioned
+data samples written, footprint reaches ~ 97.5 MB till instance runs out of memory.
+
+IMPORTANT: These values were observed while attempting to write data in "one object per tx" fashion.
+To be able to write mentioned data samples all at once, higher settings for -Xmx and -XX:MetaspaceSize are needed
