+Open vSwitch for NFV
+====================
+Welcome to OVSNFV's documentation !
+
+.. _OVSNFV: https://wiki.opnfv.org/open_vswitch_for_nfv
+.. _REPO: https://opnfv.org/gerrit/ovsnfv
+OVSNFV_ is an OPNFV collaborative development project.
+
+The OVSNFV project proposes:
+
+* Modifying the OPNFV build to include a deployment option for the
+  software-accelerated userspace Open vSwitch build. This change will
+  significantly improve the performance of the NFVI for network I/O.
+* Future work that will encompass collaborative development within the Open
+  vSwitch project to improve the performance of the software-accelerated
+  userspace Open vSwitch and increasing its suitability for Telco NFV
+  deployments.
