+Soft Patch Panel
+================
+
+The goal of SPP is to easily interconnect DPDK applications together,
+and assign resources dynamically to these applications to build a
+pipeline.
+
+The first version of SPP provides for the management of DPDK ports, and
+assigning ports to different DPDK applications.
+
+The framework is composed of a primary DPDK application that is
+responsible for resource management. This primary application doesn't
+interact with any traffic, and is used to manage creation and freeing of
+resources only.
+
+A Python based management interface is provided to control the primary
+DPDK application to create resources, which are then to be used by
+secondary applications. This management application provides a socket
+based interface for the primary and secondary DPDK applications to
+interface to the manager. The management application will use OVSDB to
+maintain all created and assigned ports.
