+Berkeley Packet Filter Library
+==============================
+
+The DPDK provides an BPF library that gives the ability
+to load and execute Enhanced Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) bytecode within
+user-space dpdk appilication.
+
+It supports basic set of features from eBPF spec.
+Please refer to the
+`eBPF spec <https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/filter.txt>`
+for more information.
+Also it introduces basic framework to load/unload BPF-based filters
+on eth devices (right now only via SW RX/TX callbacks).
+
+The library API provides the following basic operations:
+
+*  Create a new BPF execution context and load user provided eBPF code into it.
+
+*   Destroy an BPF execution context and its runtime structures and free the associated memory.
+
+*   Execute eBPF bytecode associated with provied input parameter.
+
+*   Provide information about natively compield code for given BPF context.
+
+*   Load BPF program from the ELF file and install callback to execute it on given ethdev port/queue.
+
+Not currently supported eBPF features
+-------------------------------------
+
+ - JIT
+ - cBPF
+ - tail-pointer call
+ - eBPF MAP
