+Open vSwitch with BPF
+======================
+
+This document describes how to build and install Open vSwitch using an BPF
+datapath.
+
+.. warning::
+ The BPF support of Open vSwitch is considered 'experimental'.
+
+Build requirements
+------------------
+
+In addition to the requirements described in :doc:`general`, building Open
+vSwitch with DPDK will require the following:
+
+- LLVM 3.7.1 or later
+
+- Clang 3.7.1 or later
+
+- iproute-dev 4.6 or later
+
+- Linux kernel 4.10 or later
+
+ The following Kconfig options must be enabled to run the BPF datapath:
+
+``_CONFIG_BPF=y``
+``_CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y``
+``_CONFIG_NET_CLS_BPF=m``
+``_CONFIG_NET_ACT_BPF=m``
+
+ The following optional Kconfig options are also recommended:
+
+``_CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y``
+``_CONFIG_HAVE_BPF_JIT=y``
+
+- Linux-tools from a recent Linux kernel
+
+Installing
+----------
+
+OVS can be installed using different methods. For OVS to use BPF datapath, it
+has to be configured with BPF support (``--with-bpf``).
+
+#. Clone a recent version of Linux net-next tree::
+
+ $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git
+
+#. Go into the Linux source directory and build libbpf in the tools directory::
+
+ $ cd linux/
+ $ make -C tools/lib/bpf/
+
+#. Ensure the standard OVS requirements, described in
+ :ref:`general-build-reqs`, are installed
+
+#. Bootstrap, if required, as described in :ref:`general-bootstrapping`
+
+#. Configure the package using the ``--with-bpf`` flag::
+
+ $ ./configure --with-bpf=$LINUX_TOOLS
+
+ where ``LINUX_TOOLS`` is the path to the Linux tools/ directory that was
+ compiled in step 2.
+
+ .. note::
+ While ``--with-bpf`` is required, you can pass any other configuration
+ option described in :ref:`general-configuring`.
+
+#. Build and install OVS, as described in :ref:`general-building`
+
+Additional information can be found in :doc:`general`.
+
+Setup
+-----
+
+Before running OVS, you must ensure that the BPF filesystem is available::
+
+ # mount -t bpf none /sys/fs/bpf
+ # mkdir -p /sys/fs/bpf/ovs
+
+ .. note::
+ We should get rid of this requirement on users, and just robustly ensure
+ that the filesystem is available and prepared correctly (or do so if it
+ is not).
+
+Open vSwitch should be started as described in :doc:`general`.
+
+ .. note::
+ Depending on how OVS was installed, the BPF datapath binary may or may
+ not be available. Check the logs when running OVS, if it complains about
+ not finding bpf/datapath.o, look for this file in your OVS build tree and
+ copy/symlink it across. Probably it's supposed to live in
+ /usr/share/openvswitch/bpf/datapath.o.
+
+If the linux-tools package is not installed with libbpf.so, then ensure
+that this library is available via your library path::
+
+ $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LINUX_TOOLS}/lib/bpf:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+When adding a bridge to Open vSwitch, specify the datapath type as bpf::
+
+ $ ovs-vsctl add-br br0 -- set bridge br0 datapath_type=bpf
+
+To validate that the bridge has successfully instantiated, you can use the
+ovs-bpfctl utility::
+
+ # ovs-bpfctl show
+
+Limitations
+------------
+
+- The BPF datapath is a work in progress and has a limited set of support
+ for matching and actions.
+
+Bug Reporting
+-------------

+Please report problems to bugs at openvswitch.org.
