+Introduction
+============
+This scenario installs the latest DPDK-enabled Open vSwitch component,
+version - 2.5.90 based on DPDK 16.07.
+
+Scenario components and composition
+===================================
+This scenario is currently able to be installed using the Fuel and Apex installers.
+For details on how to install the ovsnfv scenarion using these installer tools
+please refer to the installation instructions at:
+ * Fuel installation instruction: http://artifacts.opnfv.org/colorado/fuel/docs/installation-instruction.html
+ * Apex installation instruction: http://artifacts.opnfv.org/colorado/apex/docs/installation-instruction/index.html
+
+.. Above links need to be updated with the eventual release URL's. This will need to be done closer to the
+.. release date once the project and docs team have a solution ready and the final version of the installation
+.. documents are done.
+
+Scenario usage overview
+=======================
+After installation use of the scenario requires no further action by the user.
+Traffic on the private network will automatically be processed by the upgraded
+DPDK datapath.
+
+Limitations, Issues and Workarounds
+===================================
+The same limitations that apply to using Fuel DPDK-enabled interfaces also apply
+when using this scenario. Including:
+
+* Fuel9 OVS-DPDK support works only for VLAN segmentation.
+* Only interfaces running the private network (and no other network) can be
+ supported so each node needs a separate interface dedicated to the private network.
+* The nodes with dpdk enabled interfaces will need to have hugepages
+ configured and some cores reserved for dpdk.
