 dpdk-procinfo Application
 =========================
 
 The dpdk-procinfo application is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) application
 that runs as a DPDK secondary process and is capable of retrieving port
-statistics, resetting port statistics and printing DPDK memory information.

 This application extends the original functionality that was supported by

+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* dpdk-procinfo should run alongside primary process with same DPDK version.
+
+* When running ``dpdk-procinfo`` with shared library mode, it is required to
+  pass the same NIC PMD libraries as used for the primary application. Any
+  mismatch in PMD library arguments can lead to undefined behavior and results
+  affecting primary application too.
+
+* Stats retrieval using ``dpdk-procinfo`` is not supported for virtual devices like PCAP and TAP.
+
+* Since default DPDK EAL arguments for ``dpdk-procinfo`` are ``-c1, -n4 & --proc-type=secondary``,
+  It is not expected that the user passes any EAL arguments.
