-### Purpose of this folder - Quickview
-
-1. contains place holders for upstream source code package.
-2. manages the package dependency
-3. provides simple one-button build for test developers
-
-### Motivation Explained
-
-There are multiple goals for the project vswitch performance characterization.
-First, it is a generic test framework that can be used to characterize any vswitch solution.
-Second, it is to be as CI tool to validate any change during development.
-
-For the first goal, it would be nice to get all the relevant upstream source package and
-to provide a easy build environment for a given test developer. Obviously we don't want to
-rewrite the makefile system from upstream project. However we need to add a wrapper to the
-individual packages to manage package dependecy. For example, to test ovs-dpdk vswitch solution,
-the build of ovs would depend on the build result of dpdk.
-This dependency is never explicitly specified in the individual package.
-
-For the second goal as a CI tool, it may not be needed to pull the upstream package.
-So this whole folder can be ignored.
-
-### Files and subfolders
-
-* package-list: contains list of packages and their associated tags
-* mk: contains top level makefiles
-* dpdk: place holder for dpdk package
-* ovs: place holder for ovs package.
-* l2fwd: simple l2 forwarding kernel module
