+In addition to offline traces, LTTngTop can read traces while they are being
+recorded. The official supported way of doing live streaming is using
+lttng-tools >=2.4 and following the documentation in live-reading-howto.txt of
+lttng-tools and README-LIVE of lttngtop.
+An other experimental way of doing live tracing is with mmap, but this requires some
+more work because is not officially supported and requires out-of-tree patches to
+lttng-tools and babeltrace.
+
+.PP
+To use the network live-reading, the user only needs to specify the relayd hostname
+or IP address with the option -r. For now, LTTngTop will only connect to the first
+live session established on the relay, but in a near future, the user will be able
+to choose which session to attach to.
+
+The default mode after attaching to a session is to start reading the trace from
+this point in time. In order to read the trace from the beginning, the user can specify
+the -b option.
