-The available configuration options for `swapBehavior` are:

-- `LimitedSwap`: Kubernetes workloads are limited in how much swap they can

-- `UnlimitedSwap`: Kubernetes workloads can use as much swap memory as they

   request, up to the system limit.
+- `LimitedSwap`: The utilization of swap memory by Kubernetes workloads is subject to limitations. Only Pods of Burstable QoS are permitted to employ swap.
 
 If configuration for `memorySwap` is not specified and the feature gate is
 enabled, by default the kubelet will apply the same behaviour as the

+`UnlimitedSwap` setting.
 
-The behaviour of the `LimitedSwap` setting depends if the node is running with
-v1 or v2 of control groups (also known as "cgroups"):
+With `LimitedSwap`, Pods that do not fall under the Burstable QoS classification (i.e.
+`BestEffort`/`Guaranteed` Qos Pods) are prohibited from utilizing swap memory.
+To maintain the aforementioned security and node
+health guarantees, these Pods are not permitted to use swap memory when `LimitedSwap` is
+in effect. 
 
-- **cgroupsv1:** Kubernetes workloads can use any combination of memory and
-  swap, up to the pod's memory limit, if set.
-- **cgroupsv2:** Kubernetes workloads cannot use swap memory.
+Prior to detailing the calculation of the swap limit, it is necessary to define the following terms:
+* `nodeTotalMemory`: The total amount of physical memory available on the node.
+* `totalPodsSwapAvailable`: The total amount of swap memory on the node that is available for use by Pods (some swap memory may be reserved for system use).
+* `containerMemoryRequest`: The container's memory request.
+
+Swap limitation is configured as:
+`(containerMemoryRequest / nodeTotalMemory) * totalPodsSwapAvailable`.
+
+It is important to note that, for containers within Burstable QoS Pods, it is possible to
+opt-out of swap usage by specifying memory requests that are equal to memory limits.
+Containers configured in this manner will not have access to swap memory.
+
+Swap is supported only with **cgroup v2**, cgroup v1 is not supported.
