+ISA-L Compression Poll Mode Driver
+==================================
+
+The ISA-L PMD (**librte_pmd_isal_comp**) provides poll mode compression &
+decompression driver support for utilizing Intel ISA-L library,
+which implements the deflate algorithim for both compression and decompression
+
+Features
+--------
+
+ISA-L PMD has support for:
+
+Compression/Decompression algorithm:
+
+* DEFLATE
+
+Huffman code type:
+
+* DEFAULT
+* FIXED
+* DYNAMIC
+
+Checksum support:
+
+* Adler32
+* CRC32
+
+Window size support:
+
+* 32K
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* Chained mbufs are not supported.
+
+* Compressdev level 0, no compression, is not supported. ISA-L level 0 used for
+
+fixed huffman codes.
+
+* Out of order operations are not supported
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+* To build DPDK with Intel's ISA-L library, the user is required to download
+
+the library from
+
+`<https://github.com/01org/isa-l>`_.
+
+* Once downloaded, the user needs to build the library, the ISA-L autotools
+
+are usualy sufficient::
+
+ ./autogen.sh
+ ./configure
+
+make can be used to install the library on their system, before building
DPDK::
+
+ make
+ sudo make install
+
+* To build with meson, the "libisal.pc" file, must be copied into "pkgconfig",
+
+e.g. /usr/lib/pkgconfig or /usr/lib64/pkgconfig depending on your system,
+
+for meson to find the ISA-L library. "libisal.pc" is located in library
sources,::
+
+ cp isal/libisal.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/
+
+instructions on how to download below.
+
+
+Initialization
+--------------
+
+In order to enable this virtual compression PMD, user must:
+
+* Set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_ISAL=y in config/common_base.
+
+To use the PMD in an application, user must:
+
+* Call rte_vdev_init("compress_isal") within the application.
+
+* Use --vdev="compress_isal" in the EAL options, which will call
rte_vdev_init() internally.
+
+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).
