+======================
+Binding Strategy Guide
+======================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+In OVN, a logical port can be bind to a local OVS port on any chassis/hypervisor, depending on the VM scheduler (e.g., ``nova-scheduler``). The binding strategy potentially impacts the network performance. That is binding all logical ports in a logical network on a single hypervisor performs differently than distributing the ports on multiple hypervisors.
+
+The container-based ovn-scale-test deployment allows to configure the binding strategy in creating and binding port rally task.
+
+
+Binding Configuration
+=====================
+
+Use ``networks_per_sandbox`` to control how logical networks and the logical ports are bind to chassis.
+
+For example, given ``ovn_number_chassis: 10`` (4 emulated chassis) and ``ovn_number_chassis: 10`` (10 logical networks), the binding varies depending on the value of ``networks_per_sandbox``.
+
+- ``networks_per_sandbox: "10"``: this is the default case. All networks will be evenly distributed to all chassis.
+
+- ``networks_per_sandbox: "2"``: each chassis has ports belong to two logical networks. In this case, the 10 logical networks are divided into 5 groups, say [n0, n1], [n2, n3], [n4, n5], [n6, n7], [n8, n9]. Then ports in [n0, n1] are bind to chassis 0 and 1, [n2, n3] to chassis 2 and 3, and so forth. As a result, each chassis has two logical network as configured.
+
+- ``networks_per_sandbox: "1"``: each chassis has ports belong to only one logical network. In this case, the 10 logical network will have a one-to-one mapping to the 10 chassis. Note that this is the extreme case as opposite to ``networks_per_sandbox: "10"``.
