 Note: "resourceName" must be unique only in the scope of a given prefix, including the one specified globally in the CLI params, e.g. "example.com/10G", "acme.com/10G" and "acme.com/40G" are perfectly valid names.
 
+#### Allocation Policy
+
+The "allocationPolicy" value determines which device in a resource pool is allocated. Each policy acts as following:
+
+| Policy   | Description                                       |
+|----------|---------------------------------------------------|
+| ""       | Disable preferred device allocation functionality |
+| "packed" | Try to allocate VFs from same PF                  |
+
 #### Device selectors
 
 The "deviceType" value determines which selectors are supported for that device. Each selector evaluated in order as listed in selector tables below.
