-Introduction
---------------
-This project provides a placeholder for various sample VNF (Virtual Network Function)
-development which includes example reference architecture and optimization methods
-related to VNF/Network service for high performance VNFs. This project provides benefits
-to other OPNFV projects like Functest, Models, yardstick etc to perform real life
-use-case based testing and NFVi characterization for the same.
-The sample VNFs are Open Source approximations* of Telco grade VNF’s using optimized
-VNF + NFVi Infrastructure libraries, with Performance Characterization of Sample† Traffic Flows.
- • * Not a commercial product. Encourage the community to contribute and close the feature gaps.
- • † No Vendor/Proprietary Workloads

-About DPDK
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-The DPDK IP Pipeline Framework provides set of libraries to build a pipeline
-application. In this document, CG-NAT application will be explained with its
-own building blocks.
-
-This document assumes the reader possess the knowledge of DPDK concepts and IP
-Pipeline Framework. For more details, read DPDK Getting Started Guide, DPDK
-Programmers Guide, DPDK Sample Applications Guide.
-
-Scope
---------
-These application provides a standalone DPDK based high performance different
-Virtual Network Function implementation.
