+========
+
+This is the initial release of a re-designed version of the software
+based on community feedback. This initial release supports only the
+Phy2Phy deployment scenario and the
+LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.PacketLossRatio test - both described in the
+OPNFV vswitchperf 'CHARACTERIZE VSWITCH PERFORMANCE FOR TELCO NFV USE
+CASES LEVEL TEST DESIGN'. The intention is that more test cases will
+follow once the community has digested the initial release.
