+Installing OVSNFV Fuel Plugin
+=============================
+
+* On the Fuel UI, create a new environment.
+* Assign nodes as normal.
+* In Settings > Compute, ensure KVM is selected which is required to enable DPDK on nodes' interfaces.
+* On the compute nodes' interface settings enable DPDK on the interface running the
+ private network.
+* *Do not enable DPDK on the control nodes.*
+* In Settings > Other
+ * Enable "Install Openvswitch with NSH/DPDK"
+ * Enable "Install DPDK"
+ * Disable "Install NSH"
+* In Nodes, for each compute node:
+ * Reserve some memory for DPDK hugepages - typically 128-512MB per NUMA node.
+ * Reserve some memory for Nova hugepages - typically 70-90% of total memory.
+ * Pin DPDK cores - typically 2.
+* Continue with environment configuration and deployment as normal.
+
+
+Upgrading the plugin
+--------------------
+
+From time to time new versions of the plugin may become available.
+
+The plugin cannot be upgraded if an active environment is using the plugin.
+
+In order to upgrade the plugin:
+
+* Copy the updated plugin file to the fuel-master.
+* On the Fuel UI, reset the environment.
+* On the Fuel CLI "fuel plugins --update <fuel-plugin-file>"
+* On the Fuel UI, re-deploy the environment.
