-## Getting started    {#libmemif_gettingstarted_doc}
-
-For detailed information on api calls and structures please refer to @ref libmemif.h.
-
-Start by creating a memif socket. Memif socket represents UNIX domain socket and interfaces assigned to use this socket. Memif uses UNIX doman socket to communicate with other memif drivers.
-
-First fill out the `memif_socket_args` struct. The minimum required configuration is the UNIX socket path.
-> Use `@` or `\0` at the beginning of the path to use abstract socket.
-```c
-memif_socket_args_t sargs;
-
-strncpy(sargs.path, socket_path, sizeof(sargs.path));
-```
-```c
-memif_socket_handle_t memif_socket;
-
-memif_create_socket(&memif_socket, &sargs, &private_data);
-```
-Once you have created your socket, you can create memif interfaces on this socket. Fill out the `memif_conn_args` struct. Then call `memif_create()`.
-```c
-memif_conn_args_t cargs;
-
-/* Assign your socket handle */
-cargs.socket = memif_socket;
-```
-```c
-memif_conn_handle_t conn;
-
-/* Assign callbacks */
-memif_create (&conn, &cargs, on_connect_cb, on_disconnect_cb, on_interrupt_cb, &private_data);
-```
-Now start the polling events using libmemifs builtin polling.
-```c
-do {
-    err = memif_poll_event(memif_socket, /* timeout -1 = blocking */ -1);
-} while (err == MEMIF_ERR_SUCCESS);
-```
-Polling can be canceled by calling `memif_cancel_poll_event()`.
-```c
-memif_cancel_poll_event (memif_socket);
-```
-On link status change `on_connect` and `on_disconnect` callbacks are called respectively. Before you can start transmitting data you, first need to call `memif_refill_queue()` for each RX queue to initialize this queue.
-```c
-int on_connect (memif_conn_handle_t conn, void *private_ctx)
-{
-  my_private_data_t *data = (my_private_data_t *) private_ctx;
-
-  err = memif_refill_queue(conn, 0, -1, 0);
-  if (err != MEMIF_ERR_SUCCESS) {
-    INFO("memif_refill_queue: %s", memif_strerror(err));
-    return err;
-  }
-
-  /*
-   * Do stuff.
-   */
-
-  return 0;
-}
-```
-Now you are ready to transmit packets.
-> Example implementation @ref examples/common/sender.c and @ref examples/common/responder.c
-
-To transmit or receive data you will need to use `memif_buffer` struct. The important fields here are `void *data`, `uint32_t len` and `uint8_t flags`. The `data` pointer points directly to the shared memory packet buffer. This is where you will find/insert your packets. The `len` field is the length of the buffer. If the flag `MEMIF_BUFFER_FLAG_NEXT` is present in `flags` field, this buffer is chained so the rest of the data is located in the next buffer, and so on.
-
-First let's receive data. To receive data call `memif_rx_burst()`. The function will fill out memif buffers passed to it. Then you would process your data (e.g. copy to your stack). Last you must refill the queue using `memif_refill_queue()` to notify peer that the buffers are now free and can be overwritten.
-```c
-/* Fill out memif buffers and mark them as received */
-err = memif_rx_burst(conn, qid, buffers, num_buffers, &num_received);
-if (err != MEMIF_ERR_SUCCESS) {
-    INFO ("memif_rx_burst: %s", memif_strerror(err));
-    return err;
-}
-/*
-    Process the buffers.
-*/
-
-/* Refill the queue, so that the peer interface can transmit more packets */
-err = memif_refill_queue(conn, qid, num_received, 0);
-if (err != MEMIF_ERR_SUCCESS) {
-    INFO("memif_refill_queue: %s", memif_strerror(err));
-    goto error;
-}
-```
-In order to transmit data you first need to 'allocate' memif buffers using `memif_buffer_alloc()`. This function simmilar to `memif_rx_burst` will fill out provided memif buffers. You will then insert your packets directly into the shared memory (don't forget to update `len` filed if your packet is smaller that buffer length). Finaly call `memif_tx_burst` to transmit the buffers.
-```c
-/* Alocate memif buffers */
-err = memif_buffer_alloc(conn, qid, buffers, num_pkts, &num_allocated, packet_size);
-if (err != MEMIF_ERR_SUCCESS) {
-    INFO("memif_buffer_alloc: %s", memif_strerror(err));
-    goto error;
-}
-
-/*
-    Fill out the buffers.
-
-    tx_buffers[i].data field points to the shared memory.
-    update tx_buffers[i].len to your packet length, if the packet is smaller.
-*/
-
-/* Transmit the buffers */
-err = memif_tx_burst(conn, qid, buffers, num_allocated, &num_transmitted);
-if (err != MEMIF_ERR_SUCCESS) {
-    INFO("memif_tx_burst: %s", memif_strerror(err));
-    goto error;
-}
-```
-### Zero-copy Slave
-
-Interface with slave role is the buffer producer, as such it can use zero-copy mode.
-
-After receiving buffers, process your packets in place. Then use `memif_buffer_enq_tx()` to enqueue rx buffers to tx queue (by swapping rx buffer with a free tx buffer).
-```c
-/* Fill out memif buffers and mark them as received */
-err = memif_rx_burst(conn, qid, buffers, num_buffers, &num_received);
-if (err != MEMIF_ERR_SUCCESS) {
-    INFO ("memif_rx_burst: %s", memif_strerror(err));
-    return err;
-}
-
-/*
-    Process the buffers in place.
-*/
-
-/* Enqueue processed buffers to tx queue */
-err = memif_buffer_enq_tx(conn, qid, buffers, num_buffers, &num_enqueued);
-if (err != MEMIF_ERR_SUCCESS) {
-    INFO("memif_buffer_alloc: %s", memif_strerror(err));
-    goto error;
-}
-
-/* Refill the queue, so that the peer interface can transmit more packets */
-err = memif_refill_queue(conn, qid, num_enqueued, 0);
-if (err != MEMIF_ERR_SUCCESS) {
-    INFO("memif_refill_queue: %s", memif_strerror(err));
-    goto error;
-}
-
-/* Transmit the buffers. */
-err = memif_tx_burst(conn, qid, buffers, num_enqueued, &num_transmitted);
-if (err != MEMIF_ERR_SUCCESS) {
-    INFO("memif_tx_burst: %s", memif_strerror(err));
-    goto error;
-}
-```
-
-### Custom Event Polling
-
-Libmemif can be integrated into your applications fd event polling. You will need to implement `memif_control_fd_update_t` callback and pass it to `memif_socket_args.on_control_fd_update`. Now each time any file descriptor belonging to that socket updates, `on_control_fd_update` callback is called. The file descriptor and event type is passed in `memif_fd_event_t`. It also contains private context that is associated with this fd. When event is polled on the fd you need to call `memif_control_fd_handler` and pass the event type and private context associated with the fd.
-
-### Multi Threading
-
-#### Connection establishment
-
-Memif sockets should not be handled in paralell. Instead each thread should have it's own socket. However the UNIX socket can be the same. In case of non-listener socket, it's straight forward, just create the socket using the same path. In case of listener socket, the polling should be done by single thread.
-> The socket becomes listener once a Master interface is assigned to it.
-
-#### Packet handling
-
-Single queue must not be handled in paralel. Instead you can assign queues to threads in such way that each queue is only assigned single thread.
-
-### Shared Memory Layout
-
-Please refer to [DPDK MEMIF documentation](http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/memif.html) `'Shared memory'` section.

-## Example setup    {#libmemif_example_setup_doc}
-
-#### VPP-memif master icmp_responder slave
-
-> Libmemif example app(s) use memif default socket file: `/run/vpp/memif.sock`.
-
-Run VPP and icmpr-epoll example (default example when running in container).
-
-> Other examples work similar to icmpr-epoll. Brief explanation can be found in @ref libmemif_examples_doc .
-
-VPP-side config:
-```
-DBGvpp# create interface memif id 0 master
-DBGvpp# set int state memif0/0 up
-DBGvpp# set int ip address memif0/0 192.168.1.1/24
-```
-icmpr-epoll:
-```
-conn 0 0
-```
-Memif in slave mode will try to connect every 2 seconds. If connection establishment is successful, a message will show.
-```
-INFO: memif connected!
-```
-> Error messages like "unmatched interface id" are printed only in debug mode.
-
-Check connected status.
-Use show command in icmpr-epoll:
-```
-show

-Shared Memory Packet Interface (memif) Library    {#libmemif_doc}
-==============================================
-
-## Introduction
-
-Shared memory packet interface (memif) provides high performance packet transmit and receive between user application and Vector Packet Processing (VPP) or multiple user applications. Using libmemif, user application can create shared memory interface in master or slave mode and connect to VPP or another application using libmemif. Once the connection is established, user application can receive or transmit packets using libmemif API.
-
-![Architecture](docs/architecture.png)
-
-## Features
-
-- [x] Slave mode
-  - [x] Connect to VPP over memif
-  - [x] ICMP responder example app
-- [x] Transmit/receive packets
-- [x] Interrupt mode support
-- [x] File descriptor event polling in libmemif (optional)
-  - [x] Simplify file descriptor event polling (one handler for control and interrupt channel)
-- [x] Multiple connections
-- [x] Multiple queues
-  - [x] Multi-thread support
-- [x] Master mode
-	- [x] Multiple regions
-- [x] Loopback
-
-## Quickstart
-
-This setup will run libmemif ICMP responder example app in container. Install [docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation) engine.
-Useful link: [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/get-started).
-
-Build the docker image:
-```
-# docker build . -t libmemif
-```
-
-Now you should be able to see libmemif image on your local machine:
-```
-# docker images
-REPOSITORY                       TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED              SIZE
-libmemif						 latest              32ecc2f9d013        About a minute ago   468MB
-...
-```
-
-Run container:
-```
-# docker run -it --rm --name icmp-responder --hostname icmp-responder --privileged -v "/run/vpp/:/run/vpp/" libmemif
-```
-
-The interface will by default connect to a master interface listening on `/run/vpp/master.sock`. The example will handle ARP requests and respond to ICMPv4 requests to `192.168.1.1`.
-
-Continue with @ref libmemif_example_setup which contains instructions on how to set up connection between icmpr-epoll example app and VPP-memif.
