+Networking tools for Charms
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As a result of refactoring the charm codebase responsible for configuration
+of SR-IOV VF functions and to support the new OVS hardware offload features
+for Mellanox network cards the neutron-openvswitch charm now makes use of
+two networking tools (sriov-netplan-shim and mlnx-switchdev-mode) provided
+via the `Networking Tools PPA`_.
+
+This PPA can be mirrored for offline deployments - the neutron-openvswitch
+charm may be configured to use a mirror for these packages using the
+'networking-tools-source' configuration option.

 NEW CHARM FEATURE GOES HERE
