 Limitations
 -----------
 
 * Chained mbufs are not supported.

-* Snow3g(UIA2) supported only if hash length, hash offset fields are byte-aligned.

 Installation
 ------------
 
 To build DPDK with the SNOW3G_PMD the user is required to download
-the export controlled ``libsso`` library, by requesting it from
-`<https://networkbuilders.intel.com/network-technologies/dpdk>`_,
-and compiling it on their system before building DPDK::
+the export controlled ``libsso_snow3g`` library, by requesting it from
+`<https://networkbuilders.intel.com/network-technologies/dpdk>`_.
+Once approval has been granted, the user needs to log in
+`<https://networkbuilders.intel.com/dpdklogin>`_
+and click on "Snow3G Bit Stream crypto library" link, to download the library.
+After downloading the library, the user needs to unpack and compile it
+on their system before building DPDK::
 
-   make -f Makefile_snow3g
+   make snow3G
 
-**Note**: If using a gcc version higher than 5.0, and compilation fails, apply the following patch:
+Initialization
+--------------
 
-.. code-block:: diff
+In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
 
-   /libsso/src/snow3g/sso_snow3g.c
+* Export the environmental variable LIBSSO_SNOW3G_PATH with the path where
+  the library was extracted (snow3g folder).
 
-   static inline void ClockFSM_4(sso_snow3gKeyState4_t *pCtx, __m128i *data)
-   {
-       __m128i F, R;
-   -    uint32_t K, L;
-   +    uint32_t K;
-   +    /* Declare unused if SNOW3G_WSM/SNB are defined */
-   +    uint32_t L __attribute__ ((unused)) = 0;
+* Build the LIBSSO_SNOW3G library (explained in Installation section).
 
-        F = _mm_add_epi32(pCtx->LFSR_X[15], pCtx->FSM_X[0]);
-        R = _mm_xor_si128(pCtx->LFSR_X[5], pCtx->FSM_X[2]);
+* Set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SNOW3G=y in config/common_base.
 
-   /libsso/include/sso_snow3g_internal.h
+To use the PMD in an application, user must:
 
-   -inline void ClockFSM_1(sso_snow3gKeyState1_t *pCtx, uint32_t *data);
-   -inline void ClockLFSR_1(sso_snow3gKeyState1_t *pCtx);
-   -inline void sso_snow3gStateInitialize_1(sso_snow3gKeyState1_t * pCtx, sso_snow3g_key_schedule_t *pKeySched, uint8_t *pIV);
-   +void ClockFSM_1(sso_snow3gKeyState1_t *pCtx, uint32_t *data);
-   +void ClockLFSR_1(sso_snow3gKeyState1_t *pCtx);
-   +void sso_snow3gStateInitialize_1(sso_snow3gKeyState1_t * pCtx, sso_snow3g_key_schedule_t *pKeySched, uint8_t *pIV);
+* Call rte_eal_vdev_init("crypto_snow3g") within the application.
 
+* Use --vdev="crypto_snow3g" in the EAL options, which will call rte_eal_vdev_init() internally.
 
-The environmental variable ``LIBSSO_PATH`` must be exported with the path
-where you extracted and built the libsso library and finally set
-``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SNOW3G=y`` in ``config/common_base``.
+The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
+
+* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated
+  (by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
+
+* max_nb_queue_pairs: Specify the maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
+
+* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    ./l2fwd-crypto -c 40 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_snow3g,socket_id=1,max_nb_sessions=128"
