+This branch implements a very rough virtio 1.1 prototpye: only the Tx path has
+been implemented. And below are the test scripts and guidelines for testing:
+
+- build DPDK
+
+  $ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/dpdk/src
+  $ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+  $ make install T=$RTE_TARGET
+
+- run host.sh
+
+- run virtio-user.sh
+  execute 'start' inside the pmd
+  execute 'show port stats all' (2 or more times) to see the throughtput.
+
+Note: both scripts should run on the same machine.
+
+You could also set "version_1_1=0" at virtio-user.sh to test
+the difference between virtio 1.1 and virtio 0.95/1.0.
