 L3 Forwarding Sample Application
 ================================
 
-The L3 Forwarding application is a simple example of packet processing using the DPDK.
+The L3 Forwarding application is a simple example of packet processing using
+DPDK to demonstrate usage of poll and event mode packet I/O mechanism.
 The application performs L3 forwarding.
 
 Overview
 --------
 
-The application demonstrates the use of the hash and LPM libraries in the DPDK to implement packet forwarding.
-The initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the :doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual`.
-The main difference from the L2 Forwarding sample application is that the forwarding decision
-is made based on information read from the input packet.
+The application demonstrates the use of the hash and LPM libraries in the DPDK
+to implement packet forwarding using poll or event mode PMDs for packet I/O.
+The initialization and run-time paths are very similar to those of the
+:doc:`l2_forward_real_virtual` and :doc:`l2_forward_event_real_virtual`.
+The main difference from the L2 Forwarding sample application is that optionally
+packet can be Rx/Tx from/to eventdev instead of port directly and forwarding
+decision is made based on information read from the input packet.
+
+Eventdev can optionally use S/W or H/W (if supported by platform) scheduler
+implementation for packet I/O based on run time parameters.
 
 The lookup method is either hash-based or LPM-based and is selected at run time. When the selected lookup method is hash-based,
 a hash object is used to emulate the flow classification stage.

+In this command:
+
+*   -w option whitelist the event device supported by platform. Way to pass this device may vary based on platform.
+
+*   The --mode option defines PMD to be used for packet I/O.
+
+*   The --eventq-sched option enables synchronization menthod of event queue so that packets will be scheduled accordingly.
+
+If application uses S/W scheduler, it uses following DPDK services:
+
+*   Software scheduler
+*   Rx adapter service function
+*   Tx adapter service function
+
+Application needs service cores to run above mentioned services. Service cores
+must be provided as EAL parameters along with the --vdev=event_sw0 to enable S/W
+scheduler. Following is the sample command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    ./build/l3fwd -l 0-7 -s 0-3 -n 4 --vdev event_sw0 -- -p 0x3 --mode=eventdev --eventq-sched=ordered
+
+In case of eventdev mode, *--config* option is not used for ethernet port
+configuration. Instead each ethernet port will be configured with mentioned
+setup:
+
+*   Single Rx/Tx queue
+
+*   Each Rx queue will be connected to event queue via Rx adapter.
+
+*   Each Tx queue will be connected via Tx adapter.
