+vACL - Installation Guide
+============================
+
+vACL Compilation
+===================
+
+After downloading (or doing a git clone) in a directory (samplevnf)
+
+-------------
+Dependencies
+-------------
+
+- DPDK supported versions ($DPDK_RTE_VER = 16.04, 16.11, 17.02 or 17.05): Downloaded and installed via vnf_build.sh or manually from [here] (http://fast.dpdk.org/rel/)
+- libpcap-dev
+- libzmq
+- libcurl
+
+---------------------
+Environment variables
+---------------------
+Apply all the additional patches in 'patches/dpdk_custom_patch/' and build dpdk
+
+::
+
+ export RTE_SDK=<dpdk directory>
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+This is done by vnf_build.sh script.
+
+Auto Build:
+===========
+$ ./tools/vnf_build.sh in samplevnf root folder
+
+Follow the steps in the screen from option [1] --> [9] and select option [8]
+to build the vnfs.
+It will automatically download selected DPDK version and any required patches
+and will setup everything and build vACL VNFs.
+
+Following are the options for setup:
+
+::
+
+ ----------------------------------------------------------
+ Step 1: Environment setup.
+ ----------------------------------------------------------
+ [1] Check OS and network connection
+ [2] Select DPDK RTE version
+
+ ----------------------------------------------------------
+ Step 2: Download and Install
+ ----------------------------------------------------------
+ [3] Agree to download
+ [4] Download packages
+ [5] Download DPDK zip
+ [6] Build and Install DPDK
+ [7] Setup hugepages
+
+ ----------------------------------------------------------
+ Step 3: Build VNFs
+ ----------------------------------------------------------
+ [8] Build all VNFs (vACL, vCGNAPT, vFW, UDP_Replay)
+
+ [9] Exit Script
+
+An vACL executable will be created at the following location
+samplevnf/VNFs/vACL/build/vACL
+
+
+Manual Build:
+=============
+1. Download DPDK supported version from dpdk.org
+
+ - http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/snapshot/dpdk-$DPDK_RTE_VER.zip
+
+2. unzip dpdk-$DPDK_RTE_VER.zip and apply dpdk patches only in case of 16.04
+ (Not required for other DPDK versions)
+
+ - cd dpdk
+
+ - patch -p1 < VNF_CORE/patches/dpdk_custom_patch/i40e-fix-link-management.patch
+ - patch -p1 < VNF_CORE/patches/dpdk_custom_patch/i40e-fix-Rx-hang-when-disable-LLDP.patch
+ - patch -p1 < VNF_CORE/patches/dpdk_custom_patch/i40e-fix-link-status-change-interrupt.patch
+ - patch -p1 < VNF_CORE/patches/dpdk_custom_patch/i40e-fix-VF-bonded-device-link-down.patch
+ - patch -p1 < $VNF_CORE/patches/dpdk_custom_patch/disable-acl-debug-logs.patch
+ - patch -p1 < $VNF_CORE/patches/dpdk_custom_patch/set-log-level-to-info.patch
+
+ - build dpdk
+
+ - make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc O=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+ - cd x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+ - make
+
+ - Setup huge pages
+
+ - For 1G/2M hugepage sizes, for example 1G pages, the size must be specified
+ explicitly and can also be optionally set as the default hugepage
+ size for the system. For example, to reserve 8G of hugepage memory
+ in the form of eight 1G pages, the following options should be passed
+ to the kernel:
+ * default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G hugepages=8 hugepagesz=2M hugepages=2048
+ - Add this to Go to /etc/default/grub configuration file.
+ - Append "default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G hugepages=8 hugepagesz=2M hugepages=2048"
+ to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX entry.
+
+3. Setup Environment Variable
+
+ - export RTE_SDK=<samplevnf>/dpdk
+ - export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+ - export VNF_CORE=<samplevnf>
+
+ or using ./tools/setenv.sh
+
+4. Build vACL VNFs
+
+ - cd <samplevnf>/VNFs/vACL
+ - make clean
+ - make
+
+5. The vACL executable will be created at the following location
+
+ - <samplevnf>/VNFs/vACL/build/vACL
+
+Run

+
+----------------------
+Setup Port to run VNF
+----------------------
+
