+Spirent Landslide
+-----------------
+
+In order to use Spirent Landslide for vEPC testcases, some dependencies have
+to be preinstalled and properly configured.
+
+- Java
+
+    32-bit Java installation is required for the Spirent Landslide TCL API.
+
+    | ``$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk:i386``
+
+    .. important::
+      Make sure ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` is pointing to 32-bit JRE. For more details
+      check `Linux Troubleshooting <http://TAS_HOST_IP/tclapiinstall.html#trouble>`
+      section of installation instructions.
+
+- LsApi (Tcl API module)
+
+    Follow Landslide documentation for detailed instructions on Linux
+    installation of Tcl API and its dependencies
+    ``http://TAS_HOST_IP/tclapiinstall.html``.
+    For working with LsApi Python wrapper only steps 1-5 are required.
+
+    .. note:: After installation make sure your API home path is included in
+      ``PYTHONPATH`` environment variable.
+
+    .. important::
+    The current version of LsApi module has an issue with reading LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
+    For LsApi module to initialize correctly following lines (184-186) in
+    lsapi.py

+        if ldpath == '':
+         environ['LD_LIBRARY_PATH'] = environ['LD_LIBRARY_PATH'] + ':' + ldpath
+
+    should be changed to:

+
+        ldpath = os.environ.get('LD_LIBRARY_PATH', '')
+        if not ldpath == '':
+               environ['LD_LIBRARY_PATH'] = environ['LD_LIBRARY_PATH'] + ':' + ldpath
+
+.. note:: The Spirent landslide TCL software package needs to be updated in case
+  the user upgrades to a new version of Spirent landslide software.
