+## Building with a DPDK network backend
+
+ 1. Setup host to compile DPDK:
+ - Ubuntu
+ `sudo apt-get install -y build-essential linux-image-extra-$(uname -r$)`
+ 2. Configure the project with DPDK enabled: `./configure.py --mode=release --enable-dpdk`
+ 3. Run `ninja-build build/release`.
+
+To run with the DPDK backend for a native stack give the seastar application `--dpdk-pmd 1` parameter.
+
+You can also configure DPDK as an [external package](README-DPDK.md).
