+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 algorithm for both compression and decompression
+
+Features
+--------
+
+ISA-L PMD has support for:
+
+Compression/Decompression algorithm:
+
+* DEFLATE
+
+Huffman code type:
+
+* 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.
+
+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 usually 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. The **libisal.pc** is located in library sources::
+
+ cp isal/libisal.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/
+
+
+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 parameter (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).
