+Bind Tools DPDK
+===============
+
+VSPerf supports the default DPDK bind tool, but also supports driverctl. The
+driverctl tool is a new tool being used that allows driver binding to be
+persistent across reboots. The driverctl tool is not provided by VSPerf, but can
+be downloaded from upstream sources. Once installed set the bind tool to
+driverctl to allow VSPERF to correctly bind cards for DPDK tests.
