 VSPERF is an OPNFV testing project.
 
-VSPERF provides an automated test-framework and comprehensive test suite based on
-industry standards for measuring data-plane performance of Telco NFV switching
-technologies as well as physical and virtual network interfaces (NFVI). The VSPERF
-architecture is switch and traffic generator agnostic and provides full control of
-software component versions and configurations as well as test-case customization.
-
-The Danube release of VSPERF includes improvements in documentation and capabilities.
-This includes additional test-cases such as RFC 5481 Latency test and RFC-2889
-address-learning-rate test. Hardware traffic generator support is now provided for
-Spirent and Xena in addition to Ixia. The Moongen software traffic generator is also
-now fully supported. VSPERF can be used in a variety of modes for configuration and
-setup of the network and/or for control of the test-generator and test execution.
+VSPERF is an OPNFV project that provides an automated test-framework and comprehensive test suite based on Industry
+Test Specifications for measuring NFVI data-plane performance. The data-path includes switching technologies with
+physical and virtual network interfaces. The VSPERF architecture is switch and traffic generator agnostic and test
+cases can be easily customized. Software versions and configurations including the vSwitch (OVS or VPP) as well as
+the network topology are controlled by VSPERF (independent of OpenStack). VSPERF is used as a development tool for
+optimizing switching technologies, qualification of packet processing components and for pre-deployment evaluation
+of the NFV platform data-path.
+
+The Euphrates release adds new features and improvements that will help advance high performance packet processing
+on Telco NFV platforms. This includes new test cases, flexibility in customizing test-cases, new results display
+options, improved tool resiliency, additional traffic generator support and VPP support.
+
+VSPERF provides a framework where the entire NFV Industry can learn about NFVI data-plane performance and try-out
+new techniques together. A new IETF benchmarking specification (RFC8204) is based on VSPERF work contributed since
+2015. VSPERF is also contributing to development of ETSI NFV test specifications through the Test and Open Source
+Working Group.
