-Multicore graph processing
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-In the current graph library implementation, specifically,
-``rte_graph_walk()`` and ``rte_node_enqueue*`` fast path API functions
+graph model chossing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Currently, there are 2 different walking model. Use
+``rte_graph_worker_model_set()`` to set the walk model.
+
+RTC (Run-To-Completion)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+This is the default graph walking model. specifically,
+``rte_graph_walk_rtc()`` and ``rte_node_enqueue*`` fast path API functions
 are designed to work on single-core to have better performance.
 The fast path API works on graph object, So the multi-core graph
 processing strategy would be to create graph object PER WORKER.
 
+Example:
+
+Graph: node-0 -> node-1 -> node-2 @Core0.

+Dispatch model
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The dispatch model enables a cross-core dispatching mechanism which employs
+a scheduling work-queue to dispatch streams to other worker cores which
+being associated with the destination node.
+
+Use ``rte_graph_model_dispatch_lcore_affinity_set()`` to set lcore affinity
+with the node.
+Each worker core will have a graph repetition. Use ``rte_graph_clone()`` to
+clone graph for each worker and use``rte_graph_model_dispatch_core_bind()``
+to bind graph with the worker core.
+
+Example:
+
+Graph topo: node-0 -> Core1; node-1 -> node-2; node-2 -> node-3.
+Config graph: node-0 @Core0; node-1/3 @Core1; node-2 @Core2.
