SPP Secondary
=============
-SPP secondary process is ...
+SPP secondary process is a worker process in client-server multp-process
+application model. Basically, the role of secondary process is to connenct
+each of application running on host, containers or VMs for packet forwarding.
+Spp secondary process forwards packets from source port to destination port
+with DPDK's high-performance forwarding mechanizm. In other word, it behaves
+as a cable to connect two patches ports.
+All of secondary processes are able to attach ring PMD and vhost PMD ports
+for sending or receiving packets with other processes. Ring port is used to
+communicate with a process running on host or container if it is implemented
+as secondary process to access shared ring memory.
+Vhost port is used for a process on container or VM and implemented as primary
+process, and no need to access shared memory of SPP primary.
-.. _spp_overview_design_spp_secondary_nfv:
+In addition to the basic forwarding, SPP secondary process provides several
+networking features. One of the typical example is packet cauture.
+``spp_nfv`` is the simplest SPP secondary and used to connect two of processes
+or other feature ports including PCAP PMD port. PCAP PMD is to dump packets to
+a file or retrieve from.
+
+There are more specific or funcional features than ``spp_nfv``. ``spp_vf`` is
+a simple pseudo SR-IOV feature for classifying or merging packets.
+``spp_mirror`` is to duplicate incoming packets to several destination ports.
