+pdump Library
+=============
+
+The ``pdump`` library provides the framework for the packet capturing on DPDK.
+Library provides the below APIs to initialize the packet capture framework, to enable
+or disable the packet capture and to un initialize the packet capture framework.
+
+``rte_pdump_init()``:
+This API initializes the packet capture framework.
+
+``rte_pdump_enable()``:
+This API enables the packet capture on a given port and the queue.
+Note: filter option in the API is the place holder for the future enhancements.
+
+``rte_pdump_enable_by_deviceid()``:
+This API enables the packet capture on a given device id(``vdev name or pci address``) and the queue.
+Note: filter option in the API is the place holder for the future enhancements.
+
+``rte_pdump_disable()``:
+This API disables the packet capture on a given port and the queue.
+
+``rte_pdump_disable_by_deviceid()``:
+This API disables the packet capture on a given device id(``vdev name or pci address``) and the queue.
+
+``rte_pdump_uninit()``:
+This API un initializes the packet capture framework.
+
+
+Operation
+---------
+
+The ``pdump`` library works on the server and the client based model. The sever is responsible for enabling or
+disabling the packet capture and the clients are responsible to request enable or disable the packet capture.
+
+The packet capture framework, as part of it's initialization, creates the pthread and creates the server socket in
+the pthread. The application who calls the framework initialization first, will have the server socket created and
+the further calls to the framework initialization by same application or other applications is not allowed i.e. only
+one server socket is allowed on the system. So the other applications, can only request for enabling or disabling of
+the packet capture and the client socket is created to send the request to the server. The server socket will be
+listening to the client requests for enabling or disabling the packet capture.
+
+
+Implementation Details
+----------------------
+
+The library API ``rte_pdump_init()``, initializes the packet capture framework by creating the pthread and the server
+socket.The server socket in the pthread context will be listening to the client requests to enable or disable the
+packet capture. Who ever calls this API first will have the server socket created, the subsequent calls to this APIs
+will not create any further server socket. i.e. only one server socket is allowed.
+
+These library APIs ``rte_pdump_enable()/rte_pdump_enable_by_deviceid()`` enables the packet capture, on each call to
+these APIs, library creates the separate client socket, creates the pdump enable request and send the request to the
+server. Server who is listening on the socket will take the request, enable the packet capture by registering the
+Ethernet rx/tx callbacks for the given port or device_id and queue combinations. Then server will mirror the packets
+to the new mempool and enqueue them to the ring that clients has passed in to these APIs, server also sends the response
+back to the client about the status of the request that was processed. After the response is received from the server,
+client socket is closed.
+
+The library APIs ``rte_pdump_disable()/rte_pdump_disable_by_deviceid()`` disables the packet capture, on each call to
+these APIs, library creates the separate client socket, creates the pdump disable request and send the request to the
+server. Server who is listening on the socket will take the request, disable the packet capture by removing the
+Ethernet rx/tx callbacks for the given port or device_id and queue combinations. Server sends the response back to the
+client about the status of the request that was processed. After the response is received from the server, client
+socket is closed.
+
+The library API ``rte_pdump_uninit()``, un initializes the packet capture framework by closing the pthread and the
+server socket.
+
+
+Use Case: Packet Capturing
+--------------------------
+
+DPDK ``app/pdump`` tool is developed based on this library to capture the packets in DPDK.
+Users can use this library to develop their own packet capturing application.

+dpdk_pdump Application
+======================
+
+The ``dpdk_pdump`` application is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) application that runs as a DPDK secondary process and
+is capable of enabling packet capture on dpdk ports.
+
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+The application has a ``--pdump`` command line option with various sub arguments:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ./build/app/dpdk_pdump --
+                          --pdump '(port=<port id> | device_id=<pci id or vdev name>),
+                                   (queue=<queue_id>),
+                                   (rx-dev=<iface or pcap file> |
+                                    tx-dev=<iface or pcap file>),
+                                   [ring-size=<ring size>],
+                                   [mbuf-size=<mbuf data size>],
+                                   [total-num-mbufs=<number of mbufs>]'
+
+Note:
+
+* Parameters inside the parentheses represents mandatory parameters.
+
+* Parameters inside the square brackets represents optional parameters.
+
+Multiple instances of ``--pdump`` can be passed to capture packets on different port and queue combinations.
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``port``:
+Port id of the eth device on which packets should be captured.
+
+``device_id``:
+PCI address (or) name of the eth device on which packets should be captured.
+
+``queue``:
+Queue id of the eth device on which packets should be captured. The user can pass a queue value of ``*`` to enable
+packet capture on all queues of the eth device.
+
+``rx-dev``:
+Can be either a pcap file name or any Linux iface.
+
+``tx-dev``:
+Can be either a pcap file name or any Linux iface.
+
+   .. Note::
+
+      * To receive ingress packets only, ``rx-dev`` should be passed.
+
+      * To receive egress packets only, ``tx-dev`` should be passed.
+
+      * To receive ingress and egress packets separately ``rx-dev`` and ``tx-dev``
+        should both be passed with the different file names or the Linux iface names.
+
+      * To receive ingress and egress packets separately ``rx-dev`` and ``tx-dev``
+        should both be passed with the same file names or the the Linux iface names.
+
+``ring-size``:
+Size of the ring. This value is used internally for ring creation. The ring will be used to enqueue the packets from
+the primary application to the secondary. This is an optional parameter with default size 16384.
+
+``mbuf-size``:
+Size of the mbuf data. This is used internally for mempool creation. Ideally this value must be same as
+the primary application's mempool's mbuf data size which is used for packet RX. This is an optional parameter with
+default size 2176.
+
+``total-num-mbufs``:
+Total number mbufs in mempool. This is used internally for mempool creation. This is an optional parameter with default
+value 65535.
+
+
+Example
+-------
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ sudo ./build/app/dpdk_pdump -- --pdump 'port=0,queue=*,rx-dev=/tmp/rx.pcap'
