+OPNFV VSPERF Developer Guide
+****************************
+
+============
+Introduction
+============
+
+VSPERF is an OPNFV testing project.
+
+VSPERF provides an automated test-framework and comprehensive test suite based on
+industry standards for measuring data-plane performance of Telco NFV switching
+technologies as well as physical and virtual network interfaces (NFVI). The VSPERF
+architecture is switch and traffic generator agnostic and provides full control of
+software component versions and configurations as well as test-case customization.
+
+The Danube release of VSPERF includes improvements in documentation and capabilities.
+This includes additional test-cases such as RFC 5481 Latency test and RFC-2889
+address-learning-rate test. Hardware traffic generator support is now provided for
+Spirent and Xena in addition to Ixia. The Moongen software traffic generator is also
+now fully supported. VSPERF can be used in a variety of modes for configuration and
+setup of the network and/or for control of the test-generator and test execution.

+
+The VSPERF test specification was summarized in a 23 page Internet Draft ... `Benchmarking Virtual Switches in OPNFV
+<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-bmwg-vswitch-opnfv-01>`_
+ which was contributed to the IETF Benchmarking Methodology Working Group (BMWG). The BMWG was re-chartered in 2014
+to include benchmarking for Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) and their infrastructure. The Internet Engineering
+Steering Group of the IETF has approved the most recent version for publication as RFC 8204.
