+Drivers
+-------
+
+Drivers are special libraries which provide poll-mode driver implementations for
+devices - either hardware devices or pseudo/virtual devices. They are contained
+in the "drivers" subdirectory, and each compiles to a library with the format
+"librte_pmd_X.a" where "X" is the driver name.
+
+The drivers directory contains::
+

+    +-- bonding            # bonding poll mode driver
