+DPDK VDPA Ports
+===============
+
+In user space there are two main approaches to communicate with a guest (VM),
+using virtIO ports (e.g. netdev type=dpdkvhoshuser/dpdkvhostuserclient) or
+SR-IOV using phy ports (e.g. netdev type = dpdk).
+Phy ports allow working with port representor which is attached to the OVS and
+a matching VF is given with pass-through to the guest.
+HW rules can process packets from up-link and direct them to the VF without
+going through SW (OVS) and therefore using phy ports gives the best
+performance.
+However, SR-IOV architecture requires that the guest will use a driver which is
+specific to the underlying HW. Specific HW driver has two main drawbacks:
+1. Breaks virtualization in some sense (guest aware of the HW), can also limit
+the type of images supported.
+2. Less natural support for live migration.
+
+Using virtIO port solves both problems, but reduces performance and causes
+losing of some functionality, for example, for some HW offload, working
+directly with virtIO cannot be supported.
+
+We created a new netdev type- dpdkvdpa. dpdkvdpa port solves this conflict.
+The new netdev is basically very similar to regular dpdk netdev but it has some
+additional functionally.
+This port translates between phy port to virtIO port, it takes packets from
+rx-queue and send them to the suitable tx-queue and allows to transfer packets
+from virtIO guest (VM) to a VF and vice versa and benefit both SR-IOV and
+virtIO.
+
+Quick Example
+-------------
+
+Configure OVS bridge and ports
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+you must first create a bridge and add ports to the switch.
+Since the dpdkvdpa port is configured as a client, the vdpa-socket-path must be
+configured by the user.
+VHOST_USER_SOCKET_PATH=/path/to/socket
+
+    $ ovs-vsctl add-br br0-ovs -- set bridge br0-ovs datapath_type=netdev
+    $ ovs-vsctl add-port br0-ovs pf -- set Interface pf \
+    type=dpdk options:dpdk-devargs=<pf pci id>
+    $ ovs-vsctl add-port br0 vdpa0 -- set Interface vdpa0 type=dpdkvdpa \
+    options:vdpa-socket-path=VHOST_USER_SOCKET_PATH \
+    options:vdpa-accelerator-devargs=<vf pci id> \
+    options:dpdk-devargs=<pf pci id>,representor=[id]
+
+Once the ports have been added to the switch, they must be added to the guest.
+
+Adding vhost-user ports to the guest (QEMU)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Attach the vhost-user device sockets to the guest. To do this, you must pass
+the following parameters to QEMU:
+
+    -chardev socket,id=char1,path=$VHOST_USER_SOCKET_PATH,server
+    -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char1,vhostforce
+    -device virtio-net-pci,mac=00:00:00:00:00:01,netdev=mynet1
+
+QEMU will wait until the port is created successfully in OVS to boot the VM.
+In this mode, in case the switch will crash, the vHost ports will reconnect
+automatically once it is brought back.
