+      Snabb Switch is a LuaJIT-based toolkit for writing high-speed
+      packet networking code (such as routing, switching, firewalling,
+      and so on). It includes both a scripting inteface for creating
+      new applications and also some built-in applications that are
+      ready to run.
+      It is especially intended for ISPs and other network operators.
