+* **Added rte_graph library.**
+
+  Graph architecture abstracts the data processing functions as a ``node`` and
+  ``links`` them together to create a complex ``graph`` to enable reusable/modular
+  data processing functions. The graph library provides API to enable graph
+  framework operations such as create, lookup, dump and destroy on graph and node
+  operations such as clone, edge update, and edge shrink, etc.
+  The API also allows to create the stats cluster to monitor per graph and per node stats.

+* **Added rte_node library which consists of a set of packet processing nodes.**
+
+  The rte_node library that consists of nodes used by rte_graph library. Each
+  node performs a specific packet processing function based on application
+  configuration. The following nodes are added:
+
+  * Null node: Skeleton node that defines the general structure of a node.
+  * Ethernet device node: Consists of ethernet Rx/Tx nodes as well as ethernet
+    control APIs.
+  * IPv4 lookup node: Consists of ipv4 extract and lpm lookup node. Routes can
+    be configured by the application through ``rte_node_ip4_route_add`` function.
+  * IPv4 rewrite node: Consists of ipv4 and ethernet header rewrite functionality
+    that can be configured through ``rte_node_ip4_rewrite_add`` function.
+  * Packet drop node: Frees the packets received to their respective mempool.
