+# About
+
+Open source implementation of Audio Video Transport Protocol (AVTP) specified
+in IEEE 1722-2016 spec.
+
+Libavtp is under BSD License. For more information see LICENSE file.
+
+# Build
+
+Before building libavtp make sure you have all the required software installed
+in your system. Below are the requirements and their tested versions:
+
+* Meson >= 0.43
+* Ninja >= 1.8.2
+
+The first step to build libavtp is to generate the build system files.
+
+```
+$ meson build
+```
+
+Then build libavtp by running the following command. The building artifacts
+will be created under the build/ in the top-level directory.
+
+```
+$ ninja -C build
+```
+
+To install libavtp on your system run:
+```
+$ sudo ninja -C build install
+```
+
+# AVTP Formats Support
+
+AVTP protocol defines several AVTPDU type formats (see Table 6 from IEEE
+1722-2016 spec). Libavtp doesn't support all of them yet. The list of supported
+formarts is:
+* AAF (PCM encapsulation only)
+
+# Examples
+
+The `examples/` directory in the top-level directory provides example
+applications which demonstrate the libavtp functionalities. To build an
+example application run `$ ninja -C build <example name>`.
+
+Information about what exactly each example application does and how it works
+is provided in the beginning of the .c file from each application.
