+Meson compilation
+-----------------
+Support for 'make' has been deprecated in DPDK from v20.11 onward.
+
+Example: DPDK 20.11 installation with meson
+-------------------------------------------
+git clone http://dpdk.org/git/dpdk-stable
+git checkout 20.11
+meson build
+cd build
+ninja
+ninja install
+ldconfig
+
+PROX meson compilation (From the root of this repo)
+--------------------------------------------------
+Depending on the distribution in use the DPDK libraries will be installed in
+different locations. The 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH' environment variable is used to
+point to the correct location.
+
+For RHEL/CentOS systems:
+export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig
+meson build
+cd build
+ninja
+
+Additional options can be passed to the meson build system. See the
+'meson_options.txt' file for possible options
+
+Legacy Make compilation
+-----------------------
 The following commands assume that the following variables have been set:
 
 export RTE_SDK=/path/to/dpdk
 export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
 
-IPSec is only supported in PROX starting from DPDK 17.02
+IPSec is only supported in PROX starting from DPDK 17.11
 It will only be compiled if CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_AESNI_MB is
 set in DPDK .config. This also requires AESNI_MULTI_BUFFER_LIB_PATH to point to
 the multi-buffer library which can be downloaded from 
 <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>. 
 See doc/guides/cryptodevs/aesni_mb.rst within dpdk for more details
