-The goal of NSB is to Extend Yardstick to perform real world VNFs and NFVi
-Characterization and benchmarking with repeatable and deterministic methods.
-
-The Network Service Benchmarking (NSB) extends the yardstick framework to do
-VNF characterization and benchmarking in three different execution
-environments - bare metal i.e. native Linux environment, standalone virtual
-environment and managed virtualized environment (e.g. Open stack etc.).
-It also brings in the capability to interact with external traffic generators
-both hardware & software based for triggering and validating the traffic
-according to user defined profiles.
+Network Services Benchmarking (:term:`NSB`) uses the :term:`Yardstick`
+framework for performing :term:`VNF` and :term:`NFVI` characterisation in an
+:term:`NFV` environment.
+
+For VNF characterisation, NSB will onboard a VNF, source and sink traffic to it
+via traffic generators, and collect a variety of key performance indicators
+(:term:`KPI`) during VNF execution. The stream of KPI data is stored in a
+database, and it is visualized in a performance-visualization dashboard.
+
+For NFVI characterisation, a fixed test VNF, called :term:`PROX` is used.
+PROX implements a suite of test cases and visualizes the output data of the
+test suite. The PROX test cases implement various execution kernels found in
+real-world VNFs, and the output of the test cases provides an indication of
+the fitness of the infrastructure for running NFV services, in addition to
+indicating potential performance optimizations for the NFVI.
+
+NSB extends the Yardstick framework to do VNF characterization in three
+different execution environments - bare metal i.e. native Linux environment,
+standalone virtual environment and managed virtualized environment (e.g.
+OpenStack). It also brings in the capability to interact with external traffic
+generators, both hardware and software based, for triggering and validating the
+traffic according to user defined profiles.

+KPI Collection
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+KPI collection is the process of sampling KPIs at multiple intervals to allow
+for investigation into anomalies during runtime. Some KPI intervals are
+adjustable. KPIs are collected from traffic generators and NFVI for the SUT.
+There is already some reporting in NSB available, but NSB collects all KPIs for
+analytics to process.
+
+Below is an example list of basic KPIs:
+* Throughput
+* Latency
+* Packet delay variation
+* Maximum establishment rate
+* Maximum tear-down rate
+* Maximum simultaneous number of sessions
+
+Of course, there can be many other KPIs that will be relevant for a specific
+NFVI, but in most cases these KPIs are enough to give you a basic picture of
+the SUT. NSB also uses :term:`collectd` in order to collect the KPIs. Currently
+the following collectd plug-ins are enabled for NSB testcases:
+
+* Libvirt
+* Interface stats
+* OvS events
+* vSwitch stats
+* Huge Pages
+* RAM
+* CPU usage
+* Intel® PMU
+* Intel(r) RDT
