+# SPP_VF Config Manual
+
+## Forwarder Type
+
+There are three types of forwarder for 1:1, 1:N and N:1.
+
+  * forward: 1:1
+  * classifier_mac: 1:N (Destination is determined by MAC address)
+  * merge: N:1
+
+### Restrictions
+
+  * Different types of forwarder cannot assing on same core.
+  * Only one classifier_mac is allowed (Cannot use two or more).
+
+## Port Type
+
+There are three port types.
+
+  * nic: Physical NIC
+  * vhost: Vhost PMD for VMs
+  * ring: Ring PMD for spp components
+
+Each of ports is identified as resource ID with port type and resource ID.
+For example, resource ID of physical NIC of ID 0 is described as `nic0`.
+
+## Config Format
+
+Config files is described in JSON format.
+It consists of `vfs` and `classifier_table`.
+`vfs` defines each of spp_vf attributes and
+`classifier_table` defines MAC address and correnpond port for
+determining destination.
+
+### Attributes in Config
+
+  * vfs
+    * name: Name of spp_vf component.
+    * num_vhost: Number of vhosts spp_vf use.
+    * num_ring: Number of rings spp_vf use.
+    * functions: List of forwarders and its attributes (function means a forwarder).
+      * core: Core ID forwarder running on.
+      * type: Forwarder type (`forward`, `classifier_mac`, or `merger`).
+      * rx_port: Resource ID(s) of rx port.
+      * tx_port: Resource ID of tx port. If 1:N, which means the dest is `classifier_mac`,
+                 directly described as `classifier_mac_table`.
+
+  * classifier_table
+    * name: Table name for classifier_mac, It MUST be "classifier_mac_table" in current implementation
+    * table: Set of MAC address and port for destination
+      * mac: MAC address
+      * port: Resource ID of port
+
+## Sample Config
+
+Here is default config `spp.json` and network diagram of it.
