+OPDL Eventdev Poll Mode Driver
+==================================
+
+The OPDL (Ordered Packet Distribution Library) eventdev is a specific\
+implementation of the eventdev API. It is particularly suited to packet\
+processing workloads that have high throughput and low latency requirements.\
+All packets follow the same path through the device. The order in which\
+packets follow is determinted by the order in which queues are set up.\
+Events are left on the ring until they are transmitted. As a result packets\
+do not go out of order
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+The OPDL eventdev implements a subset of features of the eventdev API;
+
+Queues
+ * Atomic
+ * Ordered (Parallel is supported as parallel is a subset of Ordered)
+ * Single-Link
+
+Ports
+ * Load balanced (for Atomic, Ordered, Parallel queues)
+ * Single Link (for single-link queues)
+
+
+Configuration and Options
+-------------------------
+
+The software eventdev is a vdev device, and as such can be created from the
+application code, or from the EAL command line:
+
+* Call ``rte_vdev_init("event_opdl0")`` from the application
+
+* Use ``--vdev="event_opdl0"`` in the EAL options, which will call
+ rte_vdev_init() internally
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./your_eventdev_application --vdev="event_opdl0"
+
+
+Single Port Queue
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is possible to create a Single Port Queue ``RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_SINGLE_LINK``.
+Packets dequeued from this queue do not need to be re-enqueued (as is the
+case with an ordered queue). The purpose of this queue is to allow for
+asynchronous handling of packets in the middle of a pipeline. Ordered
+queues in the middle of a pipeline cannot delete packets.
+
+
+Queue Dependencies
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As stated the order in which packets travel through queues is static in
+nature. They go through the queues in the order the queues are setup at
+initialisation ``rte_event_queue_setup()``. For example if an application
+sets up 3 queues, Q0, Q1, Q2 and has 3 assoicated ports P0, P1, P2 and
+P3 then packets must be
+
+ * Enqueued onto Q0 (typically through P0), then
+
+ * Dequeued from Q0 (typically through P1), then
+
+ * Enqueued onto Q1 (also through P1), then
+
+ * Dequeued from Q2 (typically through P2), then
+
+ * Enqueued onto Q3 (also through P2), then
+
+ * Dequeued from Q3 (typically through P3) and then transmitted on the relevant \
+ eth port
+
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+The opdl implementation has a number of limitations. These limitations are
+due to the static nature of the underlying queues. It is because of this
+that the implementation can achieve such high throughput and low latency
+
+The following list is a comprehensive outline of the what is supported and
+the limitations / restrictions imposed by the opdl pmd
+
+ - The order in which packets moved between queues is static and fixed \
+ (dynamic scheduling is not supported).
+
+ - NEW, RELEASE are not explicitly supported. RX (first enqueue) implicitly \
+ adds NEW event types, and TX (last dequeue) implicitly does RELEASE event types.
+
+ - All packets follow the same path through device queues.
+
+ - Flows within queues are NOT supported.
+
+ - Event priority is NOT supported.
+
+ - Once the device is stopped all inflight events are lost. Applications should \
+ clear all inflight events before stopping it.
+
+ - Each port can only be associated with one queue.
+
+ - Each queue can have multiple ports associated with it.
+
+ - Each worker core has to dequeue the maximum burst size for that port.
+
+ - For performance, the rte_event flow_id should not be updated once packet\
+ is enqueued on RX.
+
+
+
+Validation & Statistics
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Validation can be turned on through a command line parameter
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ --vdev="event_opdl0,do_validation=1,self_test=1"
+
+If validation is turned on every packet (as opposed to just the first in
+each burst), is validated to have come from the right queue. Statistics
+are also produced in this mode. The statistics are available through the
+eventdev xstats API. Statistics are per port as follows:
+
+ - claim_pkts_requested
+ - claim_pkts_granted
+ - claim_non_empty
+ - claim_empty
+ - total_cycles
