+BNXT Poll Mode Driver
+=====================
+
+The bnxt poll mode library (**librte_pmd_bnxt**) implements support for:
+
+  * **Broadcom NetXtreme-C®/NetXtreme-E®/NetXtreme-S®
+    BCM5730X / BCM574XX / BCM58000 family of Ethernet Network Controllers**
+
+    These adapters support Standards compliant 10/25/50/100Gbps 30MPPS
+    full-duplex throughput.
+
+    Information about the NetXtreme family of adapters can be found in the
+    `NetXtreme® Brand section
+    <https://www.broadcom.com/products/ethernet-connectivity/controllers/>`_
+    of the `Broadcom website <http://www.broadcom.com/>`_.
+
+  * **Broadcom StrataGX® BCM5871X Series of Communucations Processors**
+
+    These ARM based processors target a broad range of networking applications
+    including virtual CPE (vCPE) and NFV appliances, 10G service routers and
+    gateways, control plane processing for Ethernet switches and network
+    attached storage (NAS).
+
+    Information about the StrataGX family of adapters can be found in the
+    `StrataGX® BCM5871X Series section
+    <http://www.broadcom.com/products/enterprise-and-network-processors/processors/bcm58712>`_
+    of the `Broadcom website <http://www.broadcom.com/>`_.

+Limitations
+-----------
+
+With the current driver, allocated mbufs must be large enough to hold
+the entire received frame.  If the mbufs are not large enough, the
+packets will be dropped.  This is most limiting when jumbo frames are
+used.
